项目摘要

This award support a workshop on Computational Challenges in Future Mobile Health (mHealth) Systems and Applications. Recent advances in mobile technology have opened up enormous opportunities for scientific advances and new tools that may improve patients' health and well-being. mHealth technologies offer real-time monitoring and detection of changes in health status, support the adoption and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, provide rapid diagnosis of health conditions, and facilitate the implementation of interventions ranging from promoting patient self-care to providing remote healthcare services. To realize the potential of mHealth, however, significant innovations in computing are needed. These innovations, however, must be closely integrated and informed by close collaboration with health researchers for them to contribute to improving human health. Due to the rich and unique challenges inherent in mHealth, there is an opportunity to advance computing methods in the process of advancing mHealth. A systematic discussion is needed among mHealth thought leaders to outline a grand vision for computing research in mHealth and identify the major hurdles and opportunities for advancing mHealth. The content of workshop presentations, speeches, and discussions will be made available on the web so they may be shared freely, with the expectation that the use of these materials in published work will credit the original author/source. It is anticipated that, by providing a forum that facilitates crosstalk among thought leaders from the range of stakeholders interested in mHealth, a signature contribution towards NSF?s interests in this broader scientific agenda will be made.

该奖项支持关于未来移动健康（MHealth）系统和应用程序中计算挑战的研讨会。移动技术的最新进展为科学进步和新工具提供了巨大的机会，可以改善患者的健康和福祉。 MHealth Technologies提供了实时监测和检测健康状况的变化，支持健康生活方式的采用和维护，提供快速诊断健康状况，并促进实施干预措施，从促进患者自我保健到提供远程医疗服务。但是，要实现MHealth的潜力，需要在计算方面进行大量创新。但是，这些创新必须与健康研究人员密切合作，以使他们有助于改善人类健康的贡献。由于MHealth固有的丰富而独特的挑战，因此有机会在推进MHealth的过程中推进计算方法。在MHealth思想领导者中需要进行系统的讨论，以概述计算MHealth研究研究的宏伟愿景，并确定推进MHealth的主要障碍和机会。研讨会演示，演讲和讨论的内容将在网络上提供，以便可以自由共享，并期望在已发表的工作中使用这些材料将归功于原始作者/来源。可以预料，通过提供一个论坛来促进对MHealth感兴趣的利益相关者范围的思想领导者之间的串扰，将对NSF的利益做出签署贡献。
