iMHere 2.0 vs Renew Scleroderma

The iMHere (Interactive Mobile Health and Rehabilitation) 2.0 system is an innovative self-care reminder and mobile health delivery system currently in development at the University of Pittsburgh. The system can provide reminders for self-management tasks; track health-related information; and, if connected to the web-based portal, can provide a communication bridge among a client, caregiver, and clinician. iMHere 2.0 can be used alone as a reminder and tracking system; in conjunction with the caregiver specific app (iMHere Caregiver) to allow oversight of reminder compliance and health-related issues; and/or can be connected to the internet-based clinician portal allowing for care-plan delivery, tracking and response to medical issues, and telehealth related communication. The modules within iMHere are customizable, and users can select which ones they wish to use. Connection to the portal enables more functionality of the app that is not available when used without connectivity; such as, clinician—client messaging, caregiver oversight and tracking, and alerts when compliance with reminders is low or health-related issues are reported by the client. Currently, the app is only functional for those participating in a study.

These location data will be used to tag every report submitted to the server to support location-based services. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life

Renew Scleroderma helps people with scleroderma manage their fatigue and enhance wellbeing. It involves health coaching from trained peer mentors. Renew Scleroderma allows users to read information about scleroderma and to set and track weekly goals and complete activities relevant to these goals. Development of this application was supported by the LiveWell App Factory to Support Health and Function of People with Disabilities funded by a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under (Grant # 90DPHF0004).
