The Health Communication and Digital Innovation shared resource offers resources that enable researchers to build, develop, and test innovative health communication and digital health solutions to improve clinical trial recruitment, participation and management, population health surveillance, and patient/survivorship health management.
The HCDI acts as a gateway for researchers and practitioners who have interests in using social media, sensors, mobile devices, or apps to improve recruitment, engagement, and retention in population-based studies and clinical trials and conduct technology-based clinical and population health studies.
Dr. Brown serves as a co-director for the HCDI Shared Resource along with Dr. Sunny Jung Kim.
