The availability of electronic health care records is unlocking the potential for novel studies on understanding and modeling disease progressions based on both phenotypic and genetic data. Integrating such EMR data with lifestyle, environmental, and biological data offers an unprecedented opportunity drive both personalized health and wellness, and population health management. In this talk, I will present our work on leveraging data, networks of multi-typed interactions, machine learning, and design thinking towards personalized and participatory healthcare.
