REU Site: Proactive Health Informatics

印第安纳大学布鲁明顿分校的本科生主动健康(ProHealth)信息学研究体验(REU)网站将在八周内教十名大学生如何进行研究。他们将制造智能医疗系统，帮助人们照顾自己的健康。学生可能来自不经常从事计算机研究的群体。学生们将建立智能、普及的系统，监测健康状况，帮助人们做出更好的选择。这些学生的工作将有助于人机交互、普适计算和高级分析领域。这项研究应该会改善所有美国公民的健康。学生将与儿童和老年人一起进行研究。ProHealth REU网站的目标是培养来自不同背景的本科生，成为设计、开发和评估智能、普及系统的下一代研究人员，这些系统使外行人能够主动管理自己的健康。创新包括设计新的移动或可穿戴健康系统，这些系统无缝地融入人们的生活，同时提供有价值的和适当共享的反馈。ProHealth网站将为本科生提供与世界知名教职员工在人机交互、普及计算(移动或可穿戴)、环境传感(环境和身体上)和机器学习领域进行研究的机会。ProHealth REU网站将积极招收科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域传统上代表性较低的群体的学生，包括第一代大学生和没有机会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、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个人表现或创建个性化建议；(3)调查在个人和社区层面收集的数据的含义；或(4)了解不同人群的需求，以设计更好的技术。这些项目可能会改善更广泛的美国人口的健康。本科生研究人员将学习如何：进行伦理研究；记录他们的进展；在网上专业地展示自己；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团队将鼓励从K-12到老年人的终身学习者考虑通过交互体验进行计算。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
