Health technologies have come a long way. Even
using the sensors available in a cell phone, we can now track our heart rate,
hemoglobin level, the severity of jaundice, or even monitor the progression of
Parkinson disease. Now the next question is, how to do we go from prediction,
tracking, and diagnosis of a condition to successfully intervene? How do we
harness the data to further empower the end users to be in control of their
health?
In this course, we will study the latest intervention strategies specifically in
the context of health applications. Students are expected lead class discussions
and complete a final project.
