Project Description

Large-scale person-generated health data (PGHD) from smartphones/wearables/sensors are invaluable to digital precision health. This field uses advanced analytics to develop individual-specific interventions to improve health and wellbeing. Equitable digital precision health research and application demands an interconnected infrastructure comprised of (1) a large, sociodemographically representative cohort of participants who have consented to contribute digital data for long timescales, thereby producing (2) large-scale PGHD datasets involving high-quality, well-labeled, continuous and multidimensional data to benchmark development/validation/ evaluation of analytical models; and (3) an advanced analytics platform for manipulating data that adequately maintains participant privacy and data security. This project uses ALiR to develop and deploy a fair and equitable PGHD infrastructure comprising a large sociodemographically representative cohort that regularly contributes various forms of PGHD. This project focuses on developing cyberinfrastructure and analytics tools that maintain participant privacy and security while enabling the development/ testing/ application of advanced analytic approaches. This project will consist of developing analytics tools integrating AI/ML, feature engineering, and econometrics/causal inference for advanced descriptive and predictive analytics and agent-based models, and digital twin simulation tools.
