Title: The Future of Wearables in Health

Speaker: Wendy Nilsen (National Science Foundation)

Short Bio: Wendy Nilsen, Ph.D. is the Acting Deputy Division Director in the Industrial Innovation and Partnerships Division of National Science Foundation, USA. She is a Program Director for the Smart and Connected Health Program in the Directorate for Computer Information Science Engineering at the National Science Foundation. Her work focuses on the intersection of computing and health. This includes a wide range of methods for data collection, data analytics and turning data to knowledge. Her interests span the areas of sensing, analytics, cyber-physical systems, information systems, big data and robotics, as they relate to health. More specifically, her efforts include: serving as co-chair of the Health Information Technology Research and Development community of practice of the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program; the lead for the NSF/NIH Smart and Connected Health announcement; convening workshops to address methodology in mobile technology research; serving on numerous federal technology initiatives; and, leading training institutes. Prior to joining NSF, Wendy was at the National Institutes of Health.

Talk Abstract: Personalized medicine and prevention approaches, aided by new wearable sensing, analytics, language technologies, visualization tools and interface methods, have the potential to transform health from reactive treatments based on deviations from population-level data to one in which interventions and prevention are tailored to individual characteristics. To make this happen will require a range of new fundamental scientific advances across computing, engineering and the behavioral and social sciences in concert with the biomedical research community. These partnerships are needed because the solutions to complex health problems and processes must effectively satisfy a multitude of constraints arising from the sparsity and hetero- geneity of data, limitations of current cyber-physical systems, language and cultural factors, network limits, and barriers to patient, provider and caregiver behavioral change. This talk explores the opportunities and challenges in developing a smarter and more connected health ecosystem using wearable technology and highlights promising new areas of research.

15:00 – 15:30 Coffee break

15:30 – 17:00 Session 5: The 3rd WristSense Panel Discussion

Topic: How to Establish Objective Gold Standard Measurements for Health Constructs

With the increasing consumerization of wrist-worn devices, the wrist remains a major contender for tackling problems related to health and medicine. Currently physical and sedentary activity are the only constructs with acceptable gold standard passive sensing measures (e.g. Actigraph measuring MVPA and Actipal measuring types of sedentary activity). This WristSense panel continues the discussion to change that. WristSense 2018 comprised of panelists Dr. Claudio Bettini (University of Milan, Italy), Dr. Adam Haim (NIMH - USA), and Dr. Andreas Lymberis (European Commission - Belgium). The panel in 2019 comprised of Dr. Koji Yatani (Univ. of Tokyo, Japan), Dr. Sozo Inoue (Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan), Avik Ghose (TCS Research Innovation, India), and Dr. Andreas Lymberis (European Commission - Belgium). We plan to continue the panel in 2020 and are putting together a unique panel discussion comprising of key individuals across academia, industry and government agencies surrounding ”Defining Objective Gold Standard Measures for Health Outcomes”. Our goal is to engage the research community to identify a vision moving forward for technologist, behaviorist, engineers, and mHealth specialist.
