mHealth Course Objectives

This is a project-based course. Students study the fundamentals of a new emerging field Wireless and Mobile Health by studying research papers in this field, and by interacting and building systems and devices.

We study how to build and process passive sensing data in order to test and advance the limits of technology in understanding and improving people’s health behaviors. Students design and work on completing a project. Below are a few sample team projects.
