 \n\nThe availability of miniaturized\, wearable\, personalized sensors and
  powerful mobile phones (smartphones) enable the development of a magnitud
 e of services for ubiquitous monitoring of behavioral markers of individua
 ls in daily life environments\, i.e.\, outside strict clinical settings. A
  behavioral marker is defined as a specific behavior in any of the three d
 omains—physical\, psychological or social\, leveraged to indicate/measur
 e the change in individual’s condition (e.g.\, for a purpose of diagnosi
 s)\, the effects of preventive\, treatment or rehabilitation activities\, 
 or a progress of disease.\n\nThe technologies for behavioral marker assess
 ment are ready—hardware and software technologies are available at affor
 dable prices and research on advanced algorithms for state assessment is o
 ngoing. In this presentation\, we give an example of ubiquitous technologi
 es for the ambulatory assessment of an individual’s behavioral markers r
 elated to his/her\n\n- physical state (heart rate\, body temperature\, blo
 od pressure\, respiration\, etc.)\, physical activity\, medication intake\
 , fatigue and pain\, sleep quality\n- psychological state in terms of mood
 s\, feelings\, memory and concentration\,\n- social state in terms of rela
 tionships and social interactions\, including social relationships with fe
 llow patients suffering from the same disease.\n\nWe will also give an exa
 mple of environmental state assessment technologies for noise\, pollution\
 , or transportation usage\, influencing the individual’s state and behav
 iors in all three above-mentioned domains. We discuss these technologies i
 n terms of their design space and provided features\, and their strengths 
 and barriers for user adoption and scaling.\n\nThe challenge lies in the m
 ethodological aspects of the approach\, where the data collected in the in
 dividual’s daily life environments must be of a particular quality to in
 form the clinical decisions taken. The questions are raised about where\, 
 when and what to measure\, how to make sense of data\, how to extract and 
 fuse relevant features\, how to use the data in individual cases (“perso
 nalized analytics”)\, what to consider as constituting the evidence on e
 ffectiveness of a given treatment or rehabilitation activity\, and how to 
 link that to clinical outcomes for a given patient.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Co
