Abstract :
Much is to be learned from working with health science research teams closely on longer-term projects to evaluate technology-enabled interventions that support health and wellness. The author´s participation on a long-term randomized clinical trial, which has required substantial technical development and maintenance efforts, has provided valuable insight into difficult problems of ensuring long-term engagement and making long-term study administration manageable.
