In this symposium various examples of recently developed or open source mHealth applications will illustrate how we can improve patient care in rehabilitation medicine. Improvement of the diagnosis of cognitive and physical impairments, the monitoring of fatigue-related behaviour, and setting meaningful and shared treatment goals related to societal participation can all be realized with user-friendly mHealth-applications.

Learning Objectives:

This symposium allows participants to become acquainted with and gain knowledge about the various mHealth applications to improve rehabilitation care.
Participants will understand the scientific principles and methodology of studying mHealth applications and ecological momentary assessment.
After the ymposium, participants can explain the links between clinical practice, technology and research with regard to patient and context-relevant data obtained with mHealth apps.
