BME Virtual Weekly Seminar Series: Jessilyn Dunn
Description
Jessilyn Dunn, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University, will give a talk titled "The Digital Physiome: Wearables for Early Disease Detection" for the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
The faculty host is Casey Overby Taylor.
Abstract:
Digital health is rapidly expanding due to surging healthcare costs, deteriorating health outcomes, and the growing prevalence and accessibility of mobile health and wearable technologies. Recent technological advancements make it possible to closely and continuously monitor individuals using multiple measurement modalities in real time. We are collecting and integrating such wearables data with clinical information to gain a more precise understanding of health and disease and develop actionable, predictive health models for improving cardiometabolic and infectious respiratory disease outcomes. We are simultaneously developing open source data science and machine learning tools for the digital health community, including the Digital Biomarker Discovery Pipeline (DBDP), to facilitate the use of mobile device data in healthcare.
