MD2K: Mobile Data to Knowledge

MD2K is one of 11 national Big Data Centers of Excellence awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as part of its Big Data-to-Knowledge initiative. The MD2K Center brings together expertise in Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine, Behavioral Science, and Statistics. The MD2K Team is developing innovative tools to make it easier to gather, analyze and interpret health data generated by mobile and wearable sensors. The goal of the big data solutions being developed by MD2K is to reliably quantify physical, biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors that contribute to health and disease risk. The research conducted by MD2K is expected to improve the health of individuals through early detection of adverse health events and by facilitating prevention. The approach and product of MD2K will be also applicable to other complex diseases, such as asthma, substance abuse and obesity. The Center will make the MD2K tools, software, and training materials widely available and organize workshops and seminars to encourage their use by researchers and clinicians.Air date: 2/12/2015 3:30:00 PM
