We’re excited to invite you to Health Research from Home’s next webinar introducing Smart-Health; an infrastructure for collecting and linking smartphone and wearable data for research health records.
Professor Tim Chico, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Sheffield, will speak about the research database ethics and governance approach, highlighting the process of securing broad NHS data access and the importance of a robust consent model. He’ll also discuss lessons learned along the way and signpost towards people who have similarly gone through these experiences.
Ellen Buckley is a Research Associate at the University of Sheffield with experience in sensor based digital mobility assessment in the real world, particularly the Mobilise-D Consortium.
She will explore how detailed gait analysis using lumbar sensors can be linked with smartphone-based data collection to create a more continuous, long-term picture of mobility and activity.
Together, they’ll discuss how these technologies and datasets can be embedded into clinical trials, support self-management of symptoms, and ultimately move toward real-world application and regulatory approval.
