Event Description

On behalf of the NIH National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) and our partners, we invite you to participate in a conference on the Future of Telehealth: Essential Tools and Technologies for Clinical Research and Care.

This two-day event will bring together stakeholders from government agencies, academic institutions, health care organizations, and technology companies to:

* review the state of telehealth science and technology;
* identify gaps in knowledge that can be addressed through targeted research and evaluation initiatives; and
* explore ways to leverage evolving information and communication technologies to advance the field.

A workshop on the second day will yield specific recommendations to stimulate development, implementation, and evaluation of telehealth applications for clinical care, clinical and translational research, and health education and training, with the ultimate goals to broaden participation in research and improve health outcomes in medically underserved communities.
