SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Holly Jimison on Health Interventions
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Holly Jimison \nTalk title: “Informatics Advances for Personalized Health Interventions” \nSpeaker: Director\, Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care\, Northeastern University; Visiting Professor\, UC Davis \nRegister to Attend >  \n \nSpeaker bio: Holly B. Jimison is the Director of the Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care at Northeastern University and on the faculty in both the College of Computer & Information Science and the College of Health Sciences. She leads a multidisciplinary\, multi-institutional effort to facilitate research in the area of home monitoring of health behaviors\, including helping researchers address the challenges of big data related to large amounts of complex and noisy streaming data from multiple sources used to infer clinically relevant health behaviors. Her current research projects are focused on technology approaches to support healthy aging. Dr. Jimison is also currently serving as Visiting Professor at UC Davis working on the Healthy Aging in a Digital World Initiative. \nAbstract: Health behaviors account for the most significant influence on overall health outcomes and healthcare costs\, far outpacing genetic effects or the influence of access to medical care. As we move from an era of “reactive” medicine that is hospital and clinic-based toward more holistic and proactive care focused on the management of chronic conditions and prevention\, informatics advances are needed to model patient state in real-time to deliver tailored just-in-time health interventions to the home. In this presentation\, I will describe AI techniques for inferring patient state in real-time from streaming sensor data and mobile interactions\, as well as a health coaching infrastructure for delivering tailored motivational and feedback mobile messaging. This architecture incorporates representations of user preferences\, motivations\, and barriers to change to enable the incorporation of known principles of health behavior change. Based on our needs assessment of stakeholders (elders\, family caregivers\, clinicians\, service providers\, researchers\, government\, and industry)\, we have focused on a design to facilitate the participation of family members and low-skilled caregivers as part of the care team. Our tested applications for this technology have ranged from interactive video exercise\, socialization\, and stress management to cognitive monitoring and cognitive health interventions. Bringing tailored and coordinated care interventions to the home offer a scalable and potentially cost-effective approach to improving health and quality of life for a growing population of individuals with chronic disease and conditions associated with aging. \nAbout the series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, this series highlights leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Each seminar takes place on Wednesdays from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm PT.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Crystal Kolden on Fire Science
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “How Do We Stop Wildfire Disasters? A Complex Systems Perspective” \nSpeaker: Crystal Kolden\, Assistant Professor of Fire Science\, UC Merced \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Wildfires are a complex physical process that occurs both naturally and at the hands of humans. Fires are necessary to support many ecosystems and cultures\, but are producing increasingly disastrous human outcomes globally\, and particularly in the western United States. While engineering and technological advances have substantially mitigated other types of natural disasters over decades\, there is a considerable lag in this arena for wildfire\, which is a product of how fire has been historically viewed in the U.S. This presentation reviews both why the frameworks applied to disaster mitigation have been overlooked with respect to wildfire and also the state of the science regarding common misconceptions about wildfire mitigation. Also highlighted are key areas where engineering\, technology and data sciences could produce substantial and rapid advances in mitigating wildfire disasters. Suggestions are offered for the development of near-term research in wildfire mitigation and adaption\, particularly through replication\, amplification and expansion of natural biological solutions. \nSpeaker Bio: Crystal Kolden is a pyrogeographer with over two decades of experience in fire science. After beginning her career as a wildland firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service in California\, she earned graduate degrees in geography focused on remote sensing of wildfires. She has spent the last 15 years trying to understand the causes of and identify solutions to rapidly increasing wildfire disasters. Kolden conducts research on wildfire disaster mitigation and works with communities and agencies globally to develop and implement adaptation strategies. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk?

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Misha Pavel on Digital Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Dynamic Systems Modeling of Humans to Optimize Digital Health Care” \nSpeaker: Misha Pavel\, Professor of Practice in Computer Sciences and Health Sciences at Northeastern University; Visiting Professor in the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing\, UC Davis \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: The vision of transforming health care from reactive sick care to proactive health care requires new approaches to the assessment of individuals’ physical\, physiological and mental states and their dynamics. Emerging advances in sensing\, computation and communication technology have the potential to enable intensive longitudinal monitoring\, assessment and prediction to close the loop by optimizing early detection and tailored intervention. This presentation will discuss examples of robust computational modeling and predicting individuals’ behaviors combining machine learning\, hybrid dynamic systems and statistical signal processing with psychological knowledge. These include inferences of cognitive functionality from computer interactions and games that can be used for early detection of changes in cognitive function\, and approaches to inferences of stress levels from physiological measurements. In addition\, a principled approach using intensive longitudinal health behavior monitoring to help individuals to increase their physical activity and engagement is described. This approach also provides transparent explanations of the inferences and recommendations. \nSpeaker Bio: Misha Pavel holds a joint faculty appointment in Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences and Bouvé College of Health Sciences and visiting faculty at UC Davis. His background comprises electrical engineering\, computer science and experimental psychology. His research includes multiscale dynamic computational modeling of behaviors and psychological states\, with applications ranging from elder care to augmentation of human performance. Pavel uses these model-based approaches to develop algorithms transforming unobtrusive monitoring from smart homes and mobile devices to practical and actionable knowledge for diagnosis and intervention. Under the auspices of the Northeastern-based Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care\, Pavel and his colleagues target technological innovations to support the development of economically feasible\, proactive\, distributed and individual-centered health care. In addition\, Pavel is investigating approaches to inferring and augmenting human cognition using computer games\, EEG\, gait characteristics\, and transcranial electrical stimulation. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders.
