Overview

NINR’s Boot Camp is an intensive research training course at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, designed to increase the research capability of graduate students, faculty, and clinicians. The 2019 Boot Camp will take place July 15-18. “Precision Health: Smart Technologies, Smart Health,” will address digital health data and technologies that enable “smart health” and improved patient outcomes.

Course Objectives

Explore the state-of-the-art of digital health, including the use of wearables, sensors, and virtual/augmented reality; the use of omics data in health care; and the creation of an interactive system for using health data.
Discuss strategies for research and identify opportunities for and challenges to using digital health.
Share knowledge and experiences with leaders in the field.

Course Topics

Unboxing Digital Health introduces the significance and impact of digital health.
Connecting Health through Wearables and Sensors will explore what is emerging from mobile apps, what clinicians are learning from wearables, and how virtual/augmented reality is used in a clinical setting.
Innovating Health through Omics will connect molecular omics data — genomics, gene expression, proteomics, microbiome — to managing health.
Sync or Swim: Accessing, Managing, and Analyzing Data will contrast two ends of the spectrum — enabling participatory health by encouraging technology use, as well as concerns such as quality, safety, privacy, and security.
Using Digital Health to Enhance Clinical Practice will equip participants with skills, tools, and resources for their practice.
