Collaborative: Smart Health in the AI and COVID Era

该项目支持将于2021年2月1日至2日举行的人工智能和新冠肺炎时代的智能健康：SCH首席研究员虚拟研讨会。会议将汇集由智能健康（SCH）计划授予的项目的主要研究人员与其他研究人员在更广泛的社区寻找智能健康。SCH计划的设立是为了弥合基础科学的差距，以改变健康和生物医学研究。人工智能和新冠肺炎时代的智能健康研讨会旨在通过计算机科学，工程，数学以及社会，行为和经济学科的基础研究来应对下一代健康挑战。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。讨论将得到主旨发言、小组讨论、与项目有关的海报、快速会谈和跨学科参与者产生的研讨会的支持。预计会议将促进讨论，联系和合作，以促进智能健康领域的进展。研讨会应该对参与者和智能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。结果的传播应通知和发展中的智能健康研究社区在他们的跨学科合作，教育活动，并刺激其他创新的研究方向。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。为了解决智能健康研究中当前的问题，会议将包括一个跨学科的小型研讨会，讨论当前的主题，例如推进数据科学，弥合传感硬件，数据基础设施和技术的新前沿，以解决健康差距。此外，主要研究者会议将附带一个研讨会，将支持10名学生参加PI研讨会的旅行。这也将有助于通过为希望在智能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，被认为值得支持。

This project supports the Smart Health in AI and the COVID Era: SCH Principal Investigators Virtual Workshop on February 1-2,2021. The meeting will bring together principal investigators of projects awarded by the Smart Health (SCH) program with other researchers looking at smart health in the broader community. The SCH program was set up to bridge gaps in fundamental science necessary to transform health and biomedical research. Smart Health in AI and the COVID Era Workshop is designed to address the next generation of challenges in advancing health with foundational research from the computer science, engineering, mathematics 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 cross-discipline participant-generated workshops. It is anticipated that the meeting will stimulate discussions, connections, and collaborations that will facilitate progress in the area of Smart Health. The workshop should have a significant impact on the participants and the future of the Smart 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 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. In order to address current concerns in Smart Health research the meeting will include a cross-discipline mini-workshops addressing current themes, such as advancing data science, bridging new frontier in sensing hardware, data infrastructure and the sue of technology to address health disparities. Additionally, there will be a workshop attached to the Principal Investigator meeting that will support the travel for ten students 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 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.
