Our mission is to improve the lives of people living with long-term health conditions

In the future, data from smartphones and wearable devices could help answer many of the questions patients have. This data could be easily contributed by patients and the public.

Turning that data into world leading health research, and helping other researchers to do the same, will allow us to transform health outcomes for everyone. Health Research from Home is bringing the community together to share know-how, skills and experience to make this happen at scale.

Events

The Health Research from Home Partnership offers a unique calendar of events that won’t be found anywhere else.

At our events we’ll share how we and our partners have created successful health research studies using smartphones and wearables. We’ll also talk about contentious and difficult issues that arise when conducing health studies using smartphones and wearables, and how to overcome those issues.
