Duke Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds

Come and learn about emerging digital technologies for mental health providers and researchers here at Duke. Dr. Doraiswamy has served as an advisor to leading government agencies and businesses, mentors many start-ups, and served as a judge for the 2016 MIT Hacking Medicine's Grand Hack. He is a faculty advisor to the Triangle Health Innovation Challenge (THINC) that will occur September 16-18 at Duke. Dr. McClernon co-founded mHealth@Duke with Dr. Bernard Fuemmeler (CFM) with the goal of accelerating research on the use of sensors and mobile technology to advance the delivery of health care through improved patient-provider communication and collaborative health care management. mHealth@Duke sponsors an annual conference, "shark-tank" competition, and other scientific programs. Dr. Bloomfield oversees mobile technology initiatives within the healthcare system. In addition to rolling out mobile applications associated with the Epic EHR, he is collaborating with multiple entities both inside and outside Duke to establish an open technology platform for mobile health innovation. Dr. Bloomfield led the integration of Apple HealthKit at Duke in August 2014 (the first health system to do so) and is helping facilitate its use among interested faculty for both clinical and research purposes. In addition, he is a Co-PI on Duke's first ResearchKit app, Autism & Beyond.
