ABSTRACT
This project is to support student travel and participation in the IEEE Conference on Connected Health (CHASE 2017) in Philadelphia, PA. CHASE provides a supportive scientific forum for students focusing on computing and engineering research associated with the multidisciplinary field of connected health. CHASE provides a forum for expert and peer critique of students' research with the goal of improving their science. Student participants will also have the opportunity to receive networking support and career advice from internationally-recognized experts. Overall, the travel support brings together people who might not otherwise engage with one another and engage in multidisciplinary research in fields involving connected health.
This proposal supports doctoral students by providing a Student Research Forum focused on encouraging students to examine technologies from multiple perspectives to understand how innovative technology, usable systems, and sound medical information combine to make the most impact. In addition, the Career Panel enables students to see different career paths for researchers in this area. The CHASE conference exposes participants to different scientific disciplinary approaches, supports networking with conference attendees and is designed to support the development of the next generation of scholars in connected health.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The Second IEEE/ACM Conference on Connected Health: Applications, Systems and Engineering Technologies (IEEE/ACM CHASE 2017) awarded twenty-one excellent applicants from 20 different US-based institutions for NSF student travel grant after a well-designed committee-based review process. These award recipients include fifteen Ph.D. students, one master student, four undergraduate students, and one high-school student. All students do research in smart and connected health related programs from US-based institutions and they all have excellent academic records. These award recipients presented their research results in the format of full conference papers, poster and demo papers, and workshop papers at the IEEE/ACM CHASE 2017 conference. Six out of twenty-one award recipients are female students.
Participation in conferences like IEEE/ACM CHASE is an extremely important part of these students' research and career development. This provides a great opportunity for them not only to present their own work in the conference, attend panel and keynote sessions, and participate in technical sessions, but also to interact with peers and senior researchers. This also exposes themselves to cutting-edge work in the fields of smart and connected health systems. This NSF student travel support enables more participation of the US-based graduate students who would otherwise be unable to attend IEEE/ACM CHASE.
