- Project HealthDesign engaged five teams to demonstrate how patient-generated health data from mobile apps and devices could improve care for conditions like asthma, Crohn's disease, cognitive decline, infant health, and obesity.
- The projects explored technical, legal, and policy issues and found that patient data could help identify medication non-adherence, adjust treatment plans, and reduce visits and prescriptions. Integration into clinical workflows and electronic health records was challenging.
- Patients reported feeling less alone, improved quality of life, and empowerment. Providers were able to better educate patients and manage conditions.
