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.

该奖项支持未来移动的健康（mHealth）系统和应用中的计算挑战研讨会。 移动的技术的最新进展为科学进步和可能改善患者健康和福祉的新工具开辟了巨大的机会。移动医疗技术提供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干预措施。然而，要实现移动健康的潜力，需要在计算方面进行重大创新。然而，这些创新必须与卫生研究人员密切合作，使他们能够为改善人类健康做出贡献。由于移动健康固有的丰富而独特的挑战，在推进移动健康的过程中有机会改进计算方法。移动健康思想领袖之间需要进行系统的讨论，以概述移动健康计算研究的宏伟愿景，并确定推进移动健康的主要障碍和机遇。 研讨会的演讲，演讲和讨论的内容将在网络上提供，以便他们可以自由分享，并期望在出版的作品中使用这些材料将归功于原作者/来源。预计，通过提供一个论坛，促进思想领袖之间的串扰感兴趣的利益相关者的范围内mHealth，对NSF的签名贡献？在这一更广泛的科学议程的利益将作出。
