This symposium provides an overview of health education delivered via smart personal devices (SPD). An m Health curriculum used in a manual wheelchair training program will be discussed as a specific example. Attendees will be given the opportunity to relate concepts to their current areas of research or practice in order to gain an understanding of how SPD based education could be better utilized across settings/populations.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will be able to define and describe mHealth
• Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the mHealth curriculum development process
• Participants will be able to list critical technology review criteria specific to healthcare
