Student Travel Support for mHealthSys 2012

该奖项支持符合条件的美国高等院校研究生参加第二届医疗保健移动系统、应用和服务国际研讨会（mHealthSys 2012）。奖助金受助人将被要求参加研讨会并参加一个特别会议来讨论他们的经验。最近的技术进步，如传感和计算设备的小型化、新的生物传感模式（如呼吸、SpO2）、越来越多地使用移动电话传感器用于医疗保健，以及可穿戴传感器与智能手机的无线集成，正在加速医疗保健移动系统的部署。拨款的目的是鼓励那些资金不足、代表性不足或不太可能参加该领域高知名度会议的学生对研究的兴趣和参与。通过资助出席和引发讨论，赠款将鼓励这些学生积极参与这一重要领域的最新研究方向。mHealthSys会议将于2012年11月在加拿大多伦多举行。mHealthSys将探索、鼓励和加速可穿戴传感、移动电话传感、算法、应用和服务方面的进步，旨在为个人提供不受限制的移动环境下的医疗服务。在mHealthSys 2012研讨会上，我们将汇集一群具有移动系统、传感器系统和医疗信息学专业知识的国际研究人员，以推动移动系统、传感器系统和医疗保健交叉领域的最新研究成果。

This award supports travel of eligible graduate students from US institutions of higher learning to the second International workshop on mobile systems, applications, and services for healthcare, (mHealthSys 2012). Grant recipients will be required to attend the workshop and participate in a special session to discuss their experience. Recent advances in technology such as miniaturization of sensing and computing devices, new bio sensing modalities (e.g. respiration, SpO2), increasing use of mobile phone sensors for health care, and wireless integration of wearable sensors with smart phones are accelerating thedeployment of mobile systems for healthcare. The goal of the grants is to encourage researchinterest and involvement of students who are not well-funded, under-represented, or otherwisenot likely to be able to attend high-profile conferences in the field. By financially facilitating attendance and generating discussion, the grant will encourage such students to become active in the latest research directions in this important field. The mHealthSys conference will take place in Toronto, Canada, in November 2012. mHealthSys will explore, encourage, and accelerate advances in wearable sensing, mobile phone sensing, algorithms, applications, and services that aim to deliver healthcare in the unconstrained mobile environment of individuals. The mHealthSys 2012 workshop we will bring together a group of international researchers with expertise in mobile systems, sensor systems, and medical informatics to push the state of the art of research at the intersection of mobile systems, sensor systems, and healthcare.
