報告摘要(ABSTRACT)
Health is a continuous state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.A person’s health is the result of genetics, lifestyle, environment, and socio-economic situation.Though health is a continuous state, resource limitations resulted in considering health as reactive and episodic aspect of life.Availability of technology and resources suggests that our perspective on health should be adjusted to reflect reality.Advances in smart phones, sensors, and wearable technology are now making it possible to analyze and understand an individual’s life style from mostly passively collected objective data streams to build her model and predict important health events in her life.Availability of massive processing power suggests that cybernetic approach may help people manage lifestyle and environment for many chronic conditions, such as Diabetes. Three major components in building such cybernetic systems are: building personal model, using diverse observations for estimating current health state, and guiding people through lifestyle and environment for best results. Institute for Future Health at UCI is exploring these approaches.We will present our work in developing such health navigators for helping people in getting to desirable health states.
