PERVASIVE HEALTH: EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS, FACILITATING LEARNING AND DELIVERING BETTER HEALTH

 

 

Elizabeth Mynatt

Professor

Executive Director, Institute for People and Technology

Georgia Institute of Technology, USA

 

While health is a pervasive human concern, healthcare is often siloed into acute care centers with misaligned incentives and fragmented care.

However, the unique capabilities of pervasive technologies have the potential to transform healthcare practices by shifting care from acute to home settings, by enabling continuous data capture and analysis, by creating a network of communication and collaboration channels, and by helping individuals engage in their own care. In the end, the emphasis changes from healthcare and chronic disease to a focus on health and wellness.

In this talk, I will draw from a number of research projects that combine computing research, human-centered design, and health management theory to create promising approaches for promoting wellness, supporting behavior change and delivering improved health outcomes.

 

About Elizabeth Mynatt

 

Elizabeth Mynatt is the Executive Director of the Institute for People and Technology (IPaT) and Professor of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Institute for People and Technology (IPaT) at Georgia Tech focuses on examining and transforming the human-centered enterprises of media, health, education, and humanitarian systems. IPaT connects industry, non-profit, and public sector partners with Georgia Tech research and technology innovations across a breadth of disciplines, departments, and research centers, integrating academic and applied research through a unique array of living laboratories and multidisciplinary projects.

Mynatt is an internationally recognized expert in the areas of human-centered computing, ubiquitous computing and assistive technologies. Her research contributes to ongoing work in personal health informatics, computer-supported collaborative work and human-computer interface design. She is also one of the principal researchers in the Aware Home Research Initiative; investigating the design of future home technologies, especially those that enable older adults to continue living independently as opposed to moving to an institutional care setting.

Mynatt is a member of the ACM SIGCHI Academy, a Sloan and Kavli research fellow, and serves on Microsoft Research's Technical Advisory Board. Mynatt is also a member of the Computing Community Consortium, an NSF-sponsored effort to engage the computing research community in envisioning more audacious research challenges. She has published more than 100 scientific papers and chaired the CHI 2010 conference, the premier international conference in human-computer interaction. Prior to joining the Georgia Tech faculty in 1998, she was a member of the research staff at Xerox PARC, working with the founder of ubiquitous computing, Mark Weiser.

CAN A DIET OF DATA MAKE YOU HEALTHY?

 

Yvonne Rogers

Professor of Interaction Design

UCLIC Director, Department of Computer Science

University College London, UK

 

Self-quantifying and self-tracking devices are becoming mainstream. Examples include FitBit, Wii games and an assortment of mobile apps (e.g. Boozerlyzer), that aim to give people new aggregate and profiled data about their behaviours and bodily functions to help them improve their sleep, moods and drinking habits. Real-time feedback about their everyday habits is provided through graphs and relative scores. The hope is that this form of personalised data will become the future for healthcare that focuses on monitoring and prevention. The Quantified Self movement has also attracted many followers worldwide who have started to record their patterns of activity levels (e.g. how many hours they sleep, how many cups of coffee they drink a day). But how healthy are they? In my talk I will consider how effective the new data diets are at changing and improving healthy behaviour.
