Here are the five recommendations the group outlined in the report.
1. Establish a research community to develop patient-facing mHealth technologies
2. Encourage the use of open-source software frameworks to reduce development time and create research-capable designs
3. Use development standards to ensure researchers have access to robust user-generated health data
4. Provide study participants with feedback about research progress using mHealth technologies
5. Streamline the process for participant enrollment by integrating informed consent and patient privacy services into mHealth technologies
