Navigating the development, regulatory aspects, and deployment of research that includes mobile technologies can be challenging for many investigators. Knowing where to start is often the largest hurdle. The MeTRIC Symposium brings together researchers and experts from across the University of Michigan to disseminate research, share ideas, foster collaboration, and showcase resources available to U-M investigators who are interested in utilizing wearable and mobile technology in health research. 

This in-person event is presented by the Mobile Technologies Research Innovation Collaborative and is open to U-M faculty, staff and students only. Seats are limited. Registration is required. 

Applications for poster presenations are now being accepted. Submissions are due Oct. 24. Apply here.
