CCC Workshop Summary: Research Opportunities and Visions for Smart and Pervasive Health
نویسندگان
چکیده
The past decade has witnessed tremendous improvements in an expanding number of computing capabilities—sensors, advanced analytics, networks, data infrastructure, advanced imaging, and cyberphysical systems—that have, and will continue to, revolutionize health research, and healthcare, with resulting improvements in health and wellness. As the cost of healthcare, the prevalence of chronic disease, and the scope of healthcare disparities increase, so too do emerging paradigms in smart and pervasive health that rely on the growing availability and robustness of sensors, mobile health capabilities and real-time analytics. These paradigms offer holistic approaches for health and healthcare delivery to enable precision medicine and personalized healthcare that can improve prevention and control the growing expenses associated with chronic disease management and persistent healthcare disparities.
