Mobile & Electronic Health Affinity Research Collaborative (ME-ARC)

Founded in 2016 by Belinda Borrelli, the mission of the Mobile & Electronic Health ARC (ME-ARC) is to conduct transdisciplinary research and training with an emphasis on developing and testing digital solutions to improve the health and wellness of disparity-facing populations. To foster collaboration, we hold monthly seminars, annual symposia, assess BU digital needs through discussion groups and surveys, and provide consultation to BU researchers. We aim to establish connections with others who have a passion for digital health, and continue to develop a scientific vision and strategy for digital health at BU. Our November event, “Innovations in Digital Health Interventions”, aimed to share ongoing research in digital health interventions, form new collaborations and reignite old ones, and identify next steps for the ME-ARC.

You can find more information about the ME-ARC, upcoming and past events, and their projects on the ME-ARC website.

The ME-ARC is funded by the Evans Center for Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research at Boston University, Founding Director, Katya Ravid. To learn more, visit Boston University’s Evans Center ARCs website.
