Seminar: Human-Centered Data Science for Healthcare

ABOUT EVENT

Abstract: There are major bottlenecks to healthcare, including in Hawaii, which have resulted in a massive shortage of clinicians for diagnosis and treatment. These gaps in healthcare access disproportionately affect under-served and marginalized populations. Digital devices provide an opportunity to provide objective diagnostics and remote care in a scalable and accessible manner. Throughout my talk, I will summarize my work in diagnostics and therapeutics for autism which I conducted during my PhD thesis as well as new projects which I am starting in my lab at UH, each of which follow the “digital phenotyping” paradigm I outlined in my thesis. I will highlight several possibilities for MS and PhD thesis research projects within the broad field of “digital health”.
