If you could create a tool that empowers young adults to prevent violence in real time … or a tool that empowers public health and disaster response workers working with the information they need to communicate reliably with headquarters, community leaders, and one another to deliver critical services to hard to reach, vulnerable populations. mHealth (mobile technologies for health) has emerged as an innovative means to do these very things and shape how public health is practiced. In this workshop, the sixth session in the latest 21st Century New Media Series from CALPACT and CHL at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health, Caricia Catalani of Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases, and Disasters (InSTEDD) and Deb Levine of Youth + Tech + Health (YTH) share their best practices for using mobile technology in public health. Enjoy this presentation from the training!
