The Mobile Technology group was established in 2012 by Dr. Rich Fletcher.  Our group develops new mobile technologies and internet of things for a wide range of applications that have social impact, primarily working in the broad domain of health.  We are particularly motivated by the needs of the poor and marginalized segments of the world’s population, ranging from the homeless population in the US to low-resource areas in South Asia or Africa, for example.  To the extent that it can make a difference, we use technology as a tool to help improve the existing health disparities and economic disparities.  Our research spans the areas of electronics / sensor design, advanced signal processing algorithms, machine learning, and user interface design; and we partner with clinical organizations and NGOs around the world to validate and sustainably deploy these technologies.
