Mobile health (mHealth) technology promises to improve quality of life, improve individual and public health, and reduce healthcare costs. Although mHealth devices and applications are proliferating, challenges remain. With a focus on usability, manageability, interoperability, availability, security, and privacy, the Amulet project has worked to engineer the tools for, and lay the scientific foundation of, secure wearable mHealth by developing a general framework for body-area pervasive computing, centered around health-monitoring and health-management applications. The Amulet team has built a prototype computational jewelry platform: an electronic bracelet and a software framework that enables developers to create (and users to easily use) safe, secure, and efficient mHealth applications that fit seamlessly into everyday life. This accomplishment-based renewal extends this work?refining and extending the Amulet platform?s functionality, evaluating its performance and usability in larger-scale studies, and transitioning the technology into an open and extensible tool for the research and healthcare communities.The investigators expect Amulet will be a platform for a wide range of mHealth applications, and this project evaluates this potential in a concrete setting in cooperation with the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health at Dartmouth College. This project explores use of the Amulet platform in new applications, using new wearable sensors and new kinds of user interactions. This exploration includes fielding Amulet prototypes to study stress and other behavioral health metrics, and refining the Amulet hardware and software in response to user feedback, in order to prepare the platform for a successful public release to the research community. The Amulet will open exciting new opportunities as it becomes available to both technology and health-science researchers as they explore the burgeoning field of wearable technology.

移动健康（MHealth）技术有望改善生活质量，改善个人和公共卫生，并降低医疗保健成本。尽管MHealth设备和应用正在激增，但仍然存在挑战。通过关注可用性，可管理性，互操作性，可用性，安全性和隐私性，Amulet项目致力于通过开发围绕健康监测和健康管理应用程序的人体区域普遍性计算的一般框架来为安全可穿戴MHealth的科学基础设计和奠定了安全可穿戴MHealth的科学基础。护身符团队已经建立了一个原型计算珠宝平台：电子手镯和一个软件框架，使开发人员能够创建（和用户轻松使用）安全，安全和高效的MHealth应用程序，这些应用程序无缝地适合日常生活。 This accomplishment-based renewal extends this work?refining and extending the Amulet platform?s functionality, evaluating its performance and usability in larger-scale studies, and transitioning the technology into an open and extensible tool for the research and healthcare communities.The investigators expect Amulet will be a platform for a wide range of mHealth applications, and this project evaluates this potential in a concrete setting in cooperation with the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health at达特茅斯学院。该项目使用新的可穿戴传感器和新型用户交互探讨了在新应用程序中使用护身符平台的使用。该探索包括对护身符的原型进行研究，以研究压力和其他行为健康指标，并根据用户反馈来完善护身符的硬件和软件，以准备成功向研究社区公开发布的平台。护身符将为技术和健康科学研究人员探索可穿戴技术新兴领域时，将开放令人兴奋的新机会。
