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.

移动的健康（mHealth）技术的出现为改善生活质量、改善个人和公共健康以及降低医疗保健成本带来了巨大的机会。虽然移动医疗设备和应用程序正在激增，但在提供必要的可用性、可扩展性、互操作性、可用性、安全性和隐私方面仍然存在许多挑战。该项目的目标是设计工具，并奠定安全可穿戴mHealth的科学基础。在这个过程中，研究人员正在开发一个身体区域普适计算的总体框架，以健康监测和健康管理应用为中心。他们的愿景是，手镯或吊坠等形式的计算珠宝将提供成功的身体区域移动健康网络所必需的属性。这些设备协调体域网的活动，并提供与佩戴者通信的谨慎手段。这种设备补充了智能手机的功能，弥补了移动的手机普及计算和可穿戴计算之间的差距。跨学科的研究团队正在设计和开发“护身符”，一种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、可靠和高效的移动健康应用程序，无缝融入日常生活。这项研究正在确定计算珠宝在可用性、可靠性、安全性、隐私性和可用性方面的优势，并开发出尽管可穿戴珠宝的电力资源受到严格限制但仍能提供这些特性的技术。
