November 4, 2019 - November 22, 2019
The Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Program at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Intelligent Human-Machine System (IHMS) Laboratory at Northeastern University are hosting an Advancing Health Through Science Smart Health PI Workshop in Alexandria, VA, January 6-7, 2020 to discuss and promote advances in smart health research and to foster partnerships and education for the future of smart health. The SCH Program Directors from the NSF and NIH are thrilled to have the broader smart health community come together for this year’s meeting – it will be an exciting Smart Health workshop!
The 2020 NSF Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Advancing Health Through Science Principal Investigator (PI) Meeting will be hosting a set of mini-workshops and invites the submission of mini-workshop proposals. Mini-workshops should emphasize innovative new topics that can drive the future of the smart health research vision. Mini-workshops should propose innovative smart health topics of particular interest to the community and should include a mix of invited presentations, panel discussions, breakout discussions, and other activities that encourage the active participation of attendees. Mini-workshops will be two hours each and run during the main PI Meeting program.
