Navigating Mobile Health with STS-tinted Glasses: One Engineer's Odyssey
Using technology to improve healthcare requires using healthcare to improve technology. To those ends, wireless and mobile health and body sensor networks hold great potential for improving patient health, but require attention to healthcare practices, medical data ethics, patient safety, etc., if they are to truly succeed. This talk will highlight how one engineer draws from his parallel background in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) to lead innovation in such cyber-physical systems.
