项目摘要

The NSERC CREATE Biomedical Engineering Smartphone Training (BEST) program will provide professional training and practical employment-ready skills to students to meet the needs of the growing mHealth marketplace. mHealth is the practice of clinical medicine and public health supported by mobile devices, including the use of mobile devices in collecting community and clinical health data, delivery of healthcare information to practitioners, researchers, and patients, real-time monitoring of patients, and direct provision of care via mobile telemedicine. Specific objectives of the program are to: 1. Provide students with the skills needed to conceive, design and build mHealth smartphone apps. This includes skills to design effective user-interfaces, collect data from sensors, analyze these data to create useful metrics, and visualize complex data for non-expert users and health practitioners. 2. Train the students to design and implement an evaluation protocol for apps. Specifically, validation protocol design, research on humans, and ethics. 3. Entrepreneurship/intrapreneurship training so that students can identify a commercialization pathway to bring a mHealth app to the appropriate market. 4. Develop skills to permit communication with various multi-disciplinary audiences necessary to identify patient and clinician needs, obtain ethics approvals, end-user support, financial backing, etc. 5. Provide students with an awareness of the regulatory environment for mHealth applications.

NSERC CREATE 生物医学工程智能手机培训 (BEST) 计划将为学生提供专业培训和实用的就业技能，以满足不断增长的移动医疗市场的需求。移动医疗是移动设备支持的临床医学和公共卫生实践，包括使用移动设备收集社区和临床健康数据，向从业者、研究人员和患者提供医疗保健信息，实时监测患者，并直接通过移动远程医疗提供护理。该计划的具体目标是： 1. 为学生提供构思、设计和构建移动医疗智能手机应用程序所需的技能。这包括设计有效的用户界面、从传感器收集数据、分析这些数据以创建有用的指标以及为非专家用户和健康从业人员可视化复杂数据的技能。 2. 培训学生设计和实施应用程序评估协议。具体来说，是验证协议设计、人类研究和伦理学。 3. 创业/内部创业培训，使学生能够确定将移动医疗应用程序推向适当市场的商业化途径。 4. 培养与各种多学科受众进行沟通所需的技能，以确定患者和临床医生的需求、获得伦理批准、最终用户支持、财务支持等。 5. 让学生了解移动医疗应用的监管环境。
