1006086 BonatoThis project supports the FIRST AMA-IEEE EMBS MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE ON PERSONALIZED MEDICINE http://www.ama-ieee.embs.org/. This is the first time that a major medical association (i.e. the American Medical Association http://www.ama-assn.org/) and a major engineering society (i.e. the IEEE Engineering and Biology Society http://www.embs.org/) come together to organize a conference on Personalized Medicine. Personalized Medicine starts with customized patient profiles and results in personalized treatment plans. Personalized Medicine benefits patients and engages clinicians, challenges engineers and demands that innovators develop low-cost, effective, and ubiquitous technologies. The conference targets participation by clinicians, engineers and innovators, industrial leaders, government agencies and policy makers. The program will be organized around four major topics: Biomarkers and Personalized Genetic Profiling, Connected Health, Electronic Medical Records and Personal Health Records, and Point-of-Care Technology. These are topics that have witnessed incredible advances over the past decade. Recent developments in Biomarkers and Personalized Genetic Profiling have opened up tremendous possibilities in the prevention and cure of diseases. The need for managing chronic clinical conditions in the home settings has generated a great deal of interest for technology that allows one to pursue Connected Health solutions. Great advances are also occurring in the management of clinical information via the use of Electronic Medical Records (which are the center piece of the ongoing health care reform) and Personal Health Records (which many believe will soon complement information gathered in the clinical environment with more traditional tools). Finally, advances in Point-of-Care Technology have provided ways to diagnose and intervene anytime and anywhere, from the PCP office to the emergency room, from the home setting to the field. Intellectual Merit: The conference will provide a unique opportunity to achieve genuine interdisciplinary work involving clinicians and engineers. The format of the conference will facilitate the exchange of information between individuals with clinical and individuals with technical expertise. Clinicians will be provided up-to-date information about technology relevant to implement Personalized Medicine strategies. Engineers will be given the opportunity to find out what are the major roadblocks toward the adoption of Personalized Medicine that could be addressed by developing new technologies. Broader Impact: The PIs will provide the public at large with access to the conference material by implementing multiple strategies. First of all, the organizers are in the process of setting up a blog on the conference website. The blog will provide individuals interested in the conference with the opportunity to shape the conference by posting questions, by proposing discussion topics, and by providing information about their own work. Secondly, all the conference abstracts will be made available to the public at large via an open access initiative that we will implement on the conference website. In other words, abstracts will be posted on the conference website. Finally, the organizers will select contributions among those presented at the conference for the first issue of a new magazine that AMA and IEEE EMBS intend to launch within a year from completion of the conference.

1006086 BONATOTHIS项目支持首次AMA-IEEE EMBS医疗技术会议http://www.ama-ieee.embs.org/。这是大型医学协会（即美国医学协会http://www.ama-assn.org/）和一个主要的工程学会（即IEEE工程与生物学协会http://www.embs.org/）聚集在一起，聚集在个性化医学上组织会议。个性化医学始于定制的患者概况，并制定个性化治疗计划。个性化医学使患者受益，并吸引临床医生，挑战工程师，并要求创新者发展低成本，有效和无处不在的技术。该会议针对临床医生，工程师和创新者，工业领导者，政府机构和政策制定者的参与。该计划将围绕四个主要主题组织：生物标志物和个性化基因分析，互联健康，电子病历和个人健康记录以及护理点技术。这些主题在过去十年中见证了令人难以置信的进步。生物标志物和个性化基因分析的最新发展为预防和治愈疾病提供了巨大的可能性。在家庭环境中管理慢性临床状况的需求引起了技术的极大兴趣，使人们可以追求连接的健康解决方案。通过使用电子病历（这是正在进行的医疗改革的中心部分）和个人健康记录（许多人认为这将很快将在临床环境中收集的信息与更多传统工具相辅相成），在管理临床信息的管理中也取得了巨大进步。最后，从PCP办公室到急诊室，从家庭环境到现场，都提供了护理技术的进步，可以随时随地进行诊断和干预的方法。知识分子的优点：会议将为实现涉及临床医生和工程师的真正跨学科工作提供独特的机会。会议的格式将促进具有临床专业知识的临床和个人个人之间的信息交换。将提供有关与实施个性化医学策略相关的技术的最新信息。工程师将有机会找出采用个性化医学的主要障碍，可以通过开发新技术来解决。更广泛的影响：PI将通过实施多种策略来为公众提供广泛的访问会议材料。首先，组织者正在会议网站上设置博客。该博客将为对会议感兴趣的个人提供机会，通过发布问题，提出讨论主题以及提供有关其工作的信息来塑造会议。其次，所有会议摘要都将通过开放访问计划向广大公众提供，我们将在会议网站上实施。换句话说，摘要将发布在会议网站上。最后，组织者将在会议上提出的新杂志上提出的捐款中，该杂志打算在会议结束后的一年内发起，该杂志的第一期。
