Brian Bot discusses the beginnings of an open ecosystem in mobile health (mHealth) research. Sage Bionetworks, a non-profit focused on open and collaborative biomedical research, aims to balance sharing data with participant privacy through participant-centered consent. Their mPower study had over 16,000 consented participants who opted to broadly share their data over 70% of the time. Some researchers worry this open approach could enable "research parasites" who use other researchers' data without contributing to the original study. Overall, the goal is to promote a research ecosystem where data can be openly shared and consumed by others.

- 20. promote an ecosystem where research is conducted for others to consume
- 21. A second concern held by some is that a new class of research person will emerge — people who had nothing to do with the design and execution of the study but use another group’s data for their own ends, possibly stealing from the research productivity planned by the data gatherers, or even use the data to try to disprove what the original investigators had posited. promote an ecosystem where research is conducted for others to consume
- 22. promote an ecosystem where research is conducted for others to consume There is concern among some front-line researchers that the system will be taken over by what some researchers have characterized as “research parasites”
