The rapidly advancing field of wireless technologies and mobile health (mHealth) is likely to play an important role in the future innovations that will help in transforming healthcare to be more individual-centered with a focus on prevention and wellbeing. Yet this nascent field requires advances and innovations ranging from theoretical concepts to large scale implementation. Intellectual Merit: This project will provide funds to enable students to attend the conference. The participating students will benefit from exposure to computational thinking and advances in in wireless health technologies that utilize real-time data acquisition and inference to support just-in-time interventions. At the same time, they will also learn of the gaps in basic science as well as engineering that need to be addressed in order to achieve the anticipated benefits of the wireless technologies and mHealth. In addition, meeting the leaders in the fields will provide the students with models for selecting and addressing the key difficult problems that need to be solved. Finally, during the workshop, the participants will be meeting their fellow students, giving them an opportunity for scientific networking, so important in a rapidly advancing field.Broader Impact: Wireless and mobile technologies are likely to have significant societal impacts in a variety of domains. There are indications that these fields will likely contribute significantly to revolutionizing healthcare, from clinical trials to healthcare delivery. These technologies are already changing the social interactions among individuals and groups. Among the most important potential benefits of these technologies are their impacts on bringing healthcare and education to underserved populations. This is reflected in the data suggesting that mobile technology frequently provides the only way for underserved populations to connect to the Internet and interact with the healthcare system. Students working in the field will have the opportunity to accelerate these trends. To achieve these goals the proposer is planning to emphasize the recruitment of women and minority students to attend the symposium.

无线技术和移动健康（MHealth）快速发展的领域很可能在未来的创新中发挥重要作用，这将有助于改变医疗保健，以更加为中心，以预防和福祉为重点。然而，这个新生的领域需要从理论概念到大规模实施的进步和创新。 知识分子的优点：该项目将提供资金，使学生能够参加会议。参与的学生将受益于接触计算思维和无线健康技术的进步，这些技术利用实时数据获取和推断来支持即时干预。同时，他们还将了解基础科学的差距以及需要解决的工程，以实现无线技术和MHealth的预期收益。此外，与该领域的领导者会面将为学生提供选择和解决需要解决的关键困难问题的模型。最后，在研讨会期间，参与者将与同学会面，这为他们提供了科学网络的机会，因此在快速前进的领域中很重要。Broader的影响：无线和移动技术可能会对各种领域产生重大的社会影响。 有迹象表明，这些领域可能会为从临床试验到医疗保健提供的革命性医疗保健造成重大贡献。这些技术已经在改变个人和群体之间的社会互动。这些技术的最重要的潜在好处之一是它们对将医疗保健和教育带入服务不足的人群的影响。 这反映在数据中，表明移动技术经常为服务不足的人群连接到Internet并与医疗保健系统互动提供了唯一的方法。该领域工作的学生将有机会加速这些趋势。为了实现这些目标，建议者计划强调招募妇女和少数族裔学生参加研讨会。
