COSC7388: Advanced Topics in Distributed Computing-- Mobile Computing in Smart Health and Well beings Rong Zheng Associate Professor@CS
Healthcare reality in US • 25.8 million children and adults in the United States—8.3% of the population—have diabetes • 0.26% of population 20 years of age or under • People 65+ represented 12.4% of the population in the year 2000 but are expected to grow to be 19% of the population by 2030 (Administration of Aging) • the United States spent $7,146 on health care per capita and 15.2% percentage of its GDP (WHO) • 195,000 Americans die a year due to preventable errors (HealthGrades, 2004) • Life expectancy at birth in the USA, 78.49, is 50th in the world
Needs for better health delivery Overarching goal: Optimized care decisions by bringing all relevant evidence pertaining to the particularpatient to the point of care anywhere and anytime and in user-appropriate forms for all members of the care team Normalization and harmonization of electronic health records (HER) Extraction and representation of data, information, and knowledge from diverse unstructured sources Frequent and large-scale data collection and predictive modeling
Paradigm shifts Involvement and enabling of individuals to participate in their care From reactive to preventive From clinic-centric to patient-centric, and From disease-centered to wellness centered
