The Proactive Health (ProHealth) Informatics Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Indiana University Bloomington will teach ten college students how to do research for eight weeks. They will make smart health systems to help people take care of their health. Students may be from groups that do not often go into computing research. Students will build intelligent, pervasive systems that monitor health and help people make better choices. The students' work will contribute to the fields of human-computer interaction, pervasive computing and advanced analytics. This research should improve the health of all United States citizens. Students will conduct their research with children and older adults.The objective of the ProHealth REU Site is to train undergraduates from diverse backgrounds to become the next generation of researchers who design, develop, and evaluate intelligent, pervasive systems that empower lay people to proactively manage their health. Innovations include the design of new mobile or wearable health systems that integrate seamlessly into a person's life while providing valuable and appropriately shared feedback. The ProHealth site will provide undergraduates with the opportunity to conduct research with world-renowned faculty members in the fields of human computer interaction, pervasive computing (mobile or wearable), environmental sensing (ambient and on-body) and machine learning. The ProHealth REU site will actively recruit students from traditionally underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), including first generation college students, and students who do not have access to research opportunities. The undergraduate students will have the opportunity to: (1) learn how to design and build new mobile, wearable or ambient health systems; (2) use the data collected from these systems to improve one's performance or create personalized recommendations; (3) investigate the implications of data collected at the individual and community level; or (4) understand the needs of various populations to design better technology. These projects can potentially improve the health of the broader United States population. Undergraduate researchers will learn how to: conduct ethical research; document their progress; represent themselves professionally online; prepare for graduate school; network in professional settings; appropriately disseminate one's findings through writing and presentation; and prepare oneself for future career opportunities. In addition, the ProHealth REU team will inspire lifelong learners - from K-12 to older adults - to consider computing through interactive experiences.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.

印第安纳州大学布卢明顿的“大学生主动健康信息学研究经验”网站将教十名大学生如何进行为期八周的研究。他们将建立智能医疗系统，帮助人们照顾自己的健康。学生可能来自不经常进入计算研究的群体。学生将建立智能的，普遍的系统，监测健康和帮助人们做出更好的选择。学生的工作将有助于人机交互，普适计算和先进的分析领域。这项研究应该改善所有美国公民的健康。学生将与儿童和老年人进行他们的研究。ProHealth REU网站的目标是培养来自不同背景的本科生成为下一代研究人员，他们设计，开发和评估智能，普及的系统，使外行人能够主动管理他们的健康。创新包括设计新的移动的或可穿戴的健康系统，这些系统可以无缝地融入人们的生活，同时提供有价值的和适当的共享反馈。ProHealth网站将为本科生提供机会，与世界知名的教职员工在人机交互，普及计算（移动的或可穿戴），环境传感（环境和身体）和机器学习领域进行研究。ProHealth REU网站将积极招募科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）传统上代表性不足的群体的学生，包括第一代大学生和无法获得研究机会的学生。本科生将有机会：（1）学习如何设计和构建新的移动的，可穿戴或环境健康系统;（2）使用从这些系统收集的数据来提高一个人的表现或创建个性化的建议;（3）调查在个人和社区层面收集的数据的影响;或（4）了解不同人群的需求，以设计更好的技术。这些项目有可能改善更广泛的美国人口的健康。本科研究人员将学习如何：进行道德研究;记录他们的进展;在网上专业地代表自己;为研究生院做准备;在专业环境中建立网络;通过写作和演讲适当地传播自己的发现;并为未来的职业机会做好准备。此外，ProHealth REU团队将激励终身学习者-从K-12到老年人-通过互动体验考虑计算。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
