pGHD Stakeholder advisory group report
On Thursday, April 26, 2018, the ASSIST project held a full-day workshop to obtain insight into how stakeholders approach the design, assessment, and adoption of new health technologies in the detection and management of surgical site infection (SSI). The PSAG Report presents findings and discussion from that workshop.
health technology assessment report
The ASSIST project carried out a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) to evaluate the current uses and possible roles of
patient-generated health data (PGHD) and mobile devices in post-operative surgical care and SSI surveillance. The HTA Report summarizes that work and provides a set of best practice recommendations, and identifies gaps in current knowledge on the use of mHealth and PGHD in
SSI surveillance.
