What Next?? Mobile Breath Detection Technology


Biologists : What are the biochemical links between breath markers and disease If volatile molecules in blood, probably in breath Mass Spectrometric analysis is advanced, so identification in breath is not an issue What will be the relevance for disease or treatment? Physical scientists: What new sensing principles are required? Development of materials/catalysts Demonstration of selectivity/sensitivity Engineers : Device Fabrication, miniaturization, ideally cell phone platforms, data handling Clinicians Are devices field applicable (point of care) ? How is the information relevant?

Use case: A context-aware recommendation system platform


Context-aware system provide the user with adaptive recommendations from information available on a social application.
The use of context will enrich recommendation and personalization decisions.

mHealth intelligent platforms help users to be responsible for their own health treatment.

2012 NIH MHEALTH SUMMER INSTITUTE

Selected problems on security


Building trust relationships. A key component is to have a set of trusted users.
Trusted users are knowledgeable about food and nutrition but are not necessarily computer experts. What are good ways to build referral-based trust relationships between users and a central server without having to engage in cumbersome protocols?

Privacy: great availability of personal data (name, email, photography etc) may be used to reasonably identify a user. Its imprudent to share some info in public and it would violate most privacy legislation if release by health care professionals.

2012 NIH MHEALTH SUMMER INSTITUTE

Related solutions
Use of a central authentication server/service or ad-hoc negotiation

2012 NIH MHEALTH SUMMER INSTITUTE

Addressing the issues


Design and implementation of a trust framework (using exchange of security certificates between mobile devices and monitoring servers) to allow recommendations from trusted users.

Use of known security techniques for storing sensitive information on mobile device, server and secure communications protocols for data transmission.

2012 NIH MHEALTH SUMMER INSTITUTE

How mHealth will help?


Collaboration with health researchers to:
Engage the platform and protocols with the HIPAA security guidelines.
(but avoiding exhaustion of devices battery)

Test and define new context types


What else can we use to improve user experience and user willingness to use a mHealth system?

Creating Adaptive User-composable Healthcare Information Systems

Problem: Healthcare IT
Information-intensive, complex1,2 rapidly changing Information varies Integration and aggregation of snippets of multiple information sources (e.g. a lab result, x-ray, paper, patient preference) Chronic conditions , complex multiplayer care Social, collaborative, high-stakes, security needs Different populations have different needs; unknown to designers/researchers

Historically: design by programmers/vendors


1. 2.

Vendor lock-in: monolithic systems require vendor/programmer, agreement, time, cost to change Bad fit to clinician or patient conceptions/needs Poor usability affecting MU adoption

Public Web user control & participation

Web 2.0 Is a core philosophy and set of principles & practices Framework or platform, not application

MedWISE3

Metadesign = design to let others design

Widgets can be plots, notes, RSS, alerts, timelines, any web-enabled program

Expected & Found Benefits


Better task-technology congruence HCI/cognitive/usability efficiencies: decreased back and forth navigation; decreased work and time due to aggregation, sharing; cognitive ease Users do use new affordances to solve problems, develop new things that fit their needs User acceptance/satisfaction great enthusiasm Mashups - accommodate rapid change (e.g. H1N1) Problems unknown by designers can be solved by users; evolutionary development Christensen - Disruptive Innovation: Bring a different value proposition to the market Initially under perform established products in mainstream market Superior in ways that are not valued by the established market more reliable, easier to use, or cheaper

Why mHealth?
Accessible, low-cost, BYOD policies give user control devices improving - disruptive innovation? Consensus (NIHI-Canada); in future you will mix and match your apps Wheres the framework for this? Advantages for patients, clinicians, researchers:
Design in a flash, change in a flash Access, control, rapid updates, fit to task Inferior now but rapidly increasing power, screen res, functions Ubiquitous, where you are App is existing paradigm; composability intuitively understood App Frame with medical vocabularies, hooks, data specialization, visualizations Special populations can design their own; unpredicted

Recent History- letting users do it

P1: Practical Body Sensor Networking?


E.g., for activity recognition, Requirements: Portable and user friendly

Our Solution (ACM SenSys11)


TinyOS-based motes + Android phone Activity recognition approach appropriate for phones (no servers) Identify redundant sensors to reduce training costs Classify difficult activities with nearly 90% accuracy Retraining detection without ground truth
College of William and Mary

Computationally lightweight

Accurate

Not Invasive

P2/P3: Sensing/Communication Performance Assurance?


P2: Need to ensure sensing performance
We accurately characterizing and exploiting sensing diversity
Sensing diversity is defined as: the sensing capability differences among individual sensors or sensor clusters, no matter heterogeneous or homogeneous ones, in a specific deployment.

Compared with existing model-driven approaches that depend on modality specific sensing models for data fusion
They need to mitigate sensing diversity, but we utilize sensing diversity for our benefit: IEEE INFOCOM11

P3: Need to ensure sensing performance over multiple heterogeneous hops:


ZigBee, Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G/4G, etc.

We use a radio-agnostic MAC/PHY abstraction to support platform portability


IEEE INFOCOM11, ACM TOSN11, INFOCOM08

P4: Energy Efficiency for Battery Powered Devices?


Energy savings for both sensors and smartphones
Opportunistically sharing sensing and computing resources among multiple body sensor networks
Under submission to ACM TOSN

More energy savings for smartphones


Classify applications into high/low priorities, put WiFi radio to power save model for delay-tolerant applications.
ACM Ubicomp12, up to 56% energy savings in Android smartphones compared with adaptive PSM

For real-time applications like VoIP, sense silence data packet and put WiFi radio to power save mode.
ACM Ubicomp11, about 40% energy savings in Android smartphones compared with adaptive PSM
