Pervasive Technologies for Health: a Focus on the Human
Episode details
Episode description
In recent years, pervasive technologies for health, or Pervasive Healthcare, has emerged as a vital discipline in its own right. Just as Pervasive Computing has served as a focal point for merging deep technical issues with human-centered approaches in order to integrate technology into everyday settings, Pervasive Healthcare poses challenges that are both technical and human. In this talk, I will describe some of the Pervasive Healthcare projects at Indiana University, focusing on the human element of applications designed not for the medical profession, but for everyday people. Resulting applications range from one that helps a chronically ill population manage their disease, to a preventative application that encourages the adoption of healthier behaviors in formative years. At the end, I will introduce an exciting new initiative at Indiana University that involves 6 faculty members and investigates one of the most pressing problems within the Pervasive Healthcare field.
