HCC: SMALL: Technologies for Nutrition and Diabetes Management

患有慢性疾病的人数迅速增加，对传统医疗保健提出了前所未有的需求。 慢性病患者的医疗费用占美国估计1.4万亿美元医疗费用的75%以上。 然而，在创造技术方面存在重大挑战，这些技术使个人能够积极管理自己的健康，并使医生，治疗师和教育工作者能够有效和高效地治疗患有慢性，长期健康挑战的人。这项研究探讨了个人健康技术对从事慢性病管理和疾病预防和健康的个人和医疗保健从业人员的作用。 在我们对糖尿病管理技术的初步研究的基础上，我们提出了四个调查线索，并将其纳入我们的研究活动：（1）个性化健康的移动的技术，（2）即时健康建议的自动化技术，（3）实验工具，（4）评估个人健康护理技术的测量技术。其总体目标是设计技术，帮助人们拥有自己的健康和健康。 在传统重症监护范围之外推进信息技术的使用对于在这一棘手领域取得进展至关重要。 研究成果将开始推动卫生技术的影响？往上爬从疾病管理到疾病预防和健康。

The rapidly increasing number of individuals suffering from chronic diseases is placing an unprecedented demand on the traditional healthcare. The medical care costs of people with chronic diseases account for more than 75% of the estimated $1.4 trillion for medical care costs in the United States. Yet, there are significant challenges in creating technologies that enable individuals to proactively manage their health and that enable physicians, therapists and educators to effectively and efficiently treat people with chronic, long-term health challenges. This research examines the role of personal health technologies for individuals and health care practitioners engaged in chronic disease management and disease prevention and wellness. Building on our initial research in technologies for diabetes management, we propose four threads of inquiry that are integrated into our research activities: (1) Mobile Technologies for Personalized Health, (2) Automated Techniques for In-The-Moment Health Advice, (3) Tools for Experimentation, and (4) Measurement Techniques to Assess Personal Health Care Technologies. The broad goal is to design technologies that help people take ownership of their own health and wellness. Advancing the use of information technologies outside of the scope of traditional critical care is of paramount importance for making progress in this thorny area. Research results will begin to push the influence of health technologies ?up the chain? from disease management to disease prevention and wellness.
