Technology-Enabled Innovations for Improving
Children's Health

This research and policy initiative, a joint project of The Children's Partnership and the Public Health Institute/Health Technology Center (HealthTech), was designed to assess how information and communication technology can improve children’s health and to support planning to ensure that the most promising technologies are effectively deployed. Based on our research, forecasting, and the convening of an Expert Panel, the following resources were developed, and can be downloaded individually below, or downloaded as one package here.

• Executive Brief
• Forecast Points
• Key Trends and Policy Opportunities
• Expert Panel Summary
• Children's Health Background Data
• Innovative Children's Health and Technology Program Summaries
• Technology Profiles:
  • Cell Phones/Mobile Devices
  • Online Social Media Sites
  • Health Games
  • Personal Health Records

Building off of the research and findings from this initiative, The Children’s Partnership continues to develop specific policy and operational recommendations for California as well as for federal policymakers.

The Children’s Partnership thanks The California Endowment for its support of this project.
