Participatory mHealth: architectures,
applications, and algorithms

We will explore the convergence of mobile, web, and social media
technologies in the support of patient-centric health and wellness
applications and innovations. The course will combine exploration of
relevant published research papers, and hands on design,
implementation and testing of new approaches. Projects can focus on a
particular aspect of these systems such as data capture, energy
management, analysis, measurement and analytics, visualization,
user-engagement, game mechanics, or privacy; or they can be
cross-cutting and integrative; they can focus on software and
algorithms that run on the mobile device, or on the backend support
provided by cloud/servers, or a combination. We will develop on state
of the art Android based smartphones (provided to students for use
during the course). Students will be encouraged (but not required) to
build on existing system components/modules available from
locally-developed open source software, to allow exploration of the
particular components/functions in more depth, while still being able
to explore these focused innovations in the context of a fully
functioning usable system. Students will learn about location and
activity based services; mobile to web software architectures; data
analysis, mapping and visualization for personal data streams; privacy
architectures; application of feedback and game mechanics to
participatory sensing; energy management for background applications;
etc.
