The advent of mobile health (mHealth) technology brings great opportunity to improve quality of life, improve individual and public health, and reduce healthcare costs. Although mHealth devices and applications are proliferating, many challenges remain to provide the necessary usability, manageability, interoperability, availability, security, and privacy. The goal of this project is to engineer the tools for, and lay the scientific foundation of, secure wearable mHealth. In the process, the investigators are developing a general framework for body-area pervasive computing, centered around health-monitoring and health-management applications.The vision is that computational jewelry, in a form like a bracelet or pendant, will provide the properties essential for successful body-area mHealth networks. These devices coordinate the activity of the body-area network and provide a discreet means for communicating with their wearer. Such devices complement the capabilities of a smartphone, bridging the gap between the type of pervasive computing possible with a mobile phone and that enabled by wearable computing.The interdisciplinary team of investigators is designing and developing 'Amulet', 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. The research is determining the degree to which computational jewelry offers advantages in availability, reliability, security, privacy, and usability, and developing techniques that provide these properties in spite of the severely-constrained power resources of wearable jewelry.

移动健康（MHealth）技术的出现为改善生活质量，改善个人和公共卫生并降低医疗费用带来了绝佳的机会。尽管MHealth设备和应用程序正在激增，但仍在提供许多挑战，以提供必要的可用性，可管理性，互操作性，可用性，安全性和隐私。该项目的目的是为安全可穿戴的MHealth设计工具并奠定了科学基础。在此过程中，调查人员正在开发一个围绕健康监控和健康管理应用程序的人体面积普遍计算的一般框架。愿景是，以手镯或吊坠等形式的计算珠宝将为成功的身体 - 身体部门MHealth网络提供必不可少的属性。这些设备协调了人体区域网络的活动，并提供了与佩戴者进行交流的谨慎手段。这些设备补充了智能手机的功能，可以通过手机弥合普遍计算的类型，并通过可穿戴计算来启用。研究人员的跨学科团队正在设计和开发“护身符”，“电子手镯”，一种电子手镯和一个软件框架，使开发人员能够易于使用（和用户），并可以轻松地使用安全，适合安全，有效地适用于安全，有效地适用于健康，并有效地适用于健康。该研究确定了计算珠宝在何种程度上在可用性，可靠性，安全性，隐私性和可用性方面具有优势，以及开发技术，尽管有可穿戴珠宝的严重限制的功率资源，这些技术可提供这些特性。
