How to Implement a Smartphone-Based Patient Safety Self-Monitoring

Making medical errors, is the third leading cause of death in the United States, with 251,000 deaths annually. DiLab members, Guillermo Gonzalez and Brenda D are researching self-monitoring technologies to address this issue. As part of this project, they work with Dr. Salvador Gullo, the founder of Saftey4Me, to implement a smartphone-based Patient Safety Self-Monitoring program to prevent medical errors. By interviewing medical professionals, the team has identified different strategies to implement this program in the near future.
