Proactive Health Informatics: Technologies for Everyday Health & Wellness
Mobile Aps, wearable fitness trackers, and sensor-enabled smart homes promise to usher in a new era of health and wellbeing, where patients proactively monitor and improve their health outside of a clinical setting. The Proactive Health Informatics group at Indiana University is studying whether these new technologies live up to their promise. We have a particular focus on populations that already experience health disparities, such as people who live in rural areas, or people from low socio-economic backgrounds. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the types of projects we pursue at Indiana University. Then I will describe our work with rural older adults, who face significant challenges in living independently as they age.
