I think we can safely assume the promise of apps radically revolutionizing our health is heavily inflated. So, then, what good are health apps? Health apps are the equivalent of old school public health advertising. Just as I see an ad when I get on the subway telling me this soft drink has 40 packets of sugar, I whip out my iPhone and see the Livestrong app on my homescreen reminding me that I need to eat well. I don’t really want to use it because it’s such a drag.”

Adverse Event MonitoringProblem: Following at-risk patients for adverse events in low- to medium resource countries is expensive/impractical Solution: Wireless adverse events reporting and database improves patient and community care

Wireless Neurosensing Diagnostic System
PIs: Junseok Chae (Arizona State University), John L. Volakis (The Ohio State University)
NSF Grant #1344825
Problem: Brain implant technology holds enormous potential for physical control restoration and early seizure detection, among others. However, implants are currently restrained by two safety concerns: (a) wired connections to/from the implant, and (b) heat generation. Solution: Tiny fully-passive implants (no battery, no rectifiers, no energy harvesting units), capable of wireless and inconspicuous acquisition of brain signals.

Mihail Popescu University of Missouri
NSF Grant #IIS-1115956
Predictive health assessment frameworkProblem: Identifying relatively rare events based on sparse data or data that arrives after it is useful for adverse events in low- to medium resource countries is expensive/impractical Solution: Sensors and machine learning technologies enable a proactive, timely, person-centered approach to healthcare

expectations about what will be private•And shifted our thinking about what should be
private.•Which data is actually sensitive?•Trade-off between privacy and health care

mHealth: What are the tradeoffs? And why is it worth it?•Digital technologies offer chances to make major
advances in health care, prevention and treatment
•Precisely because we CAN know so much, and because we can link data to time, event, and context
•Real- (or near-) time monitoring and feedback
