Ben Gerber Picks Twilio SMS To Power His University of Illinois Research

Dr. Ben Gerber, an internist and associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, uses Twilio SMS to power his research, leveraging coding skills developed through learning on a TRS-80 as a child. He built MyTapp, a system that sends daily SMS reminders encouraging patients to be physically active, which has been cost-effective and easy to implement with Twilio. Ben's work is focused on intervention research in low-income populations and those with limited access to health services, aiming to support healthy behavior and aid in chronic disease management in rural areas of Illinois.
