Precision health shifts the focus from treating a
disease to preventing a disease from developing by promoting the health and
well-being of individuals before they become ill. The foundation for precision
health interventions are data – genetics, genomics, electronic health records,
and social, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
This seminar will
provide an overview of the 2018 NINR Methodologies Boot Camp. Specific topics include state-of-the-art
digital health (e.g., wearables, sensors, and virtual/augmented reality), the
use of omics data in health care, legal and ethical issues, and opportunities
for and challenges to using digital health in clinical and research settings.
