Documentation from the repository README

Mobile Tech Illustrations is an open-source collection of diagrams, interactive 3D models, and downloadable assets for explaining devices used in mobile health and digital research. Topics include wearables, nearables, intermittent wearables, smartphone sensors, device-integration patterns, and glucose-monitor and insulin-delivery systems.

Researchers, educators, and study teams can reuse the visuals in protocols, presentations, training materials, participant communications, and grant proposals. Browse the gallery, preview the examples, and download the available files for adaptation under the repository license.

• Click on an illustration from the list below.
• Each illustration contains a README file with a preview and detailed description, a source directory with the original files, and an output directory with ready-to-view exports.
• Whenever possible, we use open source or defacto industry-standard formats for interoperability.

• Wearable Device Types by Body Part. A human body annotated with common types of consumer-grade wearables used in research. This 3D model has clickable areas on different body parts that display the device types that can be worn on that area.

• Device Integration Diagrams. Interactive maps of integration/compatibility between wearables, nearables, and other mobile devices.

• 2024 MeTRIC Symposium Mobile Device Gallery. Interactive Sway presentation showcasing wearables, nearables and other mobile tech.

• Documentation for this project is available at the Eisenberg Family Depression Center's Knowledge Base.

• 3D models are published on Sketchfab under the Mobile Technologies for Research Illustrations collection.

The Mobile Technologies Core provides investigators across the University of Michigan the support and guidance needed to utilize mobile technologies and digital mental health measures in their studies. Experienced faculty and staff offer hands-on consultative services to researchers throughout the University – regardless of specialty or research focus.
