Description of Collaborative Activity: |
On April 14-15, 2021, the NHLBI convened a virtual workshop aimed at using technology to improve heart, lung, blood, and sleep health in historically underserved, low-resource, and remote communities. The goal was to identify more accessible and feasible technological solutions for disease diagnosis and management in these groups, highlight the ones that could have the greatest impact, and determine the ones best suited for further research. During the two-day event, approximately 1,800 participants came together to discuss sustainable and affordable technology solutions, effective community-based strategies, and innovative models for disease management and diagnosis in underserved populations. Participants included academic researchers, implementation scientists, technology and medical device experts, and community and federal health leaders. |
