Developing personal health technologies requires skill and experience designing systems for patients and consumers with a range of backgrounds, in different contexts, and using a variety of media and tools. And it must all be done while ensuring that fielded technologies are effective, reliable, and responsive.
Students put these skills to the test while working on, or leading, interdisciplinary research projects. They work with teams that invent, design, and prove the efficacy of novel health interface technologies with state-of-the-art computational approaches through a lens of empathy and awareness. The program enables graduates to communicate and collaborate effectively with medical personnel, computer scientists, engineers, public health researchers, and policy makers, as well as the patients and consumers who will use these new technologies.
