The Mitchell Lab at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is dedicated to the investigation of physical activity, sleep, and physical growth in childhood. Members of the lab use digital tools to measure physical activity and sleep patterns, and design mobile health interventions to promote physical activity and sleep in children.
