National Workshop on Computational Challenges in Future Mobile Health (mHealth) Systems and Applications

该奖项支持“未来移动医疗（mHealth）系统和应用中的计算挑战”研讨会。移动技术的最新进展为可能改善患者健康和福祉的科学进步和新工具开辟了巨大的机会。移动医疗技术可以实时监测和检测健康状况的变化，支持采用和维持健康的生活方式，提供健康状况的快速诊断，并促进实施从促进患者自我护理到提供远程医疗服务的各种干预措施。然而，要实现移动医疗的潜力，需要在计算方面进行重大创新。但是，这些创新必须通过与卫生研究人员的密切合作加以密切结合和了解，才能有助于改善人类健康。由于移动医疗固有的丰富和独特的挑战，在推进移动医疗的过程中有机会推进计算方法。需要在移动医疗思想领袖之间进行系统的讨论，勾勒出移动医疗计算研究的宏伟愿景，并确定推进移动医疗的主要障碍和机会。研讨会的演示、演讲和讨论的内容将在网上公开，以便可以自由分享，并期望在已发表的作品中使用这些材料时将注明原作者/来源。预计，通过提供一个论坛，促进来自对移动医疗感兴趣的利益相关者的思想领袖之间的交流，这是对NSF的标志性贡献？美国对这一更广泛的科学议程的兴趣将得到体现。

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.
