2018 Connections in Smart Health Workshop

该提案支持2018年9月24日至26日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的2018年智能健康连接：主要研究者研讨会。该会议将汇集由智能和互联健康计划授予的项目的主要研究人员，以及其他研究人员在更广泛的社区中研究智能健康。SCH计划的建立是为了弥合基础科学的差距，以改变健康和医疗保健，以及专注于预防和以人为本的护理。智能健康研讨会旨在通过计算机科学，工程以及社会，行为和经济学科的基础研究来解决下一代健康挑战。该研讨会的目的是为主要研究人员和其他智能健康研究人员提供一个机会，探索各种项目的研究进展，讨论当前重要的问题，以及与跨学科科学领域研究相关的未来挑战。讨论将辅之以主旨发言、小组讨论、与项目有关的海报、快速谈话和参与者发起的讲习班。预计会议将促进讨论、联系和合作，促进智能互联健康领域的进展。该研讨会将对参与者和智能互联健康计划的未来产生重大影响。研讨会的重点是支持互联社区内智能健康发展的基础研究。讲习班的成果可能包括新的研究方向，将通过出版物和讲习班网站向研究界公布。研究结果的传播应该为发展中的智能互联健康研究社区提供跨学科合作、教育活动的信息，并激励其他创新研究方向。该研讨会的更广泛影响是促进该领域的进展，并促进对话，联系和合作，从而为尽可能广泛的用户群体提供更好的信息和有效的智能和互联健康研究及其技术。此外，将有一个研讨会附加到主要研究者会议，将支持旅行的十名学生从代表性不足的STEM学科参加PI研讨会。这也有助于通过为希望在智能和互联健康领域开展工作的新研究人员提供指导和支持来发展该领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估而被认为值得支持。

This proposal supports the Connections in Smart Health 2018: Principal Investigators Workshop in Arlington, VA on September 24-26, 2018. The meeting will bring together principal investigators of projects awarded by the Smart and Connected Health program from with other researchers looking at smart health in the broader community. The SCH program was set up in order to bridge gaps in fundamental science necessary to transform health and healthcare, as well as to be focused on prevention and person-centered care. Connections in Smart Health Workshop is designed to address the next generation of challenges in advancing health with foundational research from the computer science, engineering and the social, behavioral and economic disciplines. An objective of the Workshop is to provide an opportunity for the principal investigators and other smart health researchers to explore research progress in a diverse set of projects and discuss important current issues, as well as future challenges associated with research in transdisciplinary scientific areas. The discussions will be supported by keynotes, panels, project-related posters, rapid talks and participant-generated workshops. It is anticipated that the meeting will stimulate discussions, connections, and collaborations that will facilitate progress in the area of Smart and Connected Health. The workshop should have a significant impact on the participants and the future of the Smart and Connected Health program. The focus of the workshop is on foundational research that supports the growth of smart health within connected communities. The workshop results are likely to include new research directions that will be publicized to the research community through publications and a workshop website. The results dissemination should inform and the developing Smart and Connected Health research community in their transdisciplinary collaboration, educational activities, and spur other innovative research directions. The broader impacts of the workshop are to facilitate progress in the field and stimulate conversations, connections, and collaborations that will lead toward better informed and effective smart and connected health research and resulting technologies for the broadest possible user populations. Additionally, there will be a workshop attached to the Principal Investigator meeting that will support the travel for ten students from under-represented STEM disciplines to attend the PI Workshop. This should also help grow the field by providing mentorship and support for a new cadre of investigators looking to do work in the Smart and Connected Health area.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
