Tanzeem Choudhury is a professor of integrated health and technology at Cornell Tech. Her research group creates wearables and multi-modal AI systems to better measure and intervene on health symptoms and behaviors.
Choudhury says:
“Health trackers and wearables offer immense potential to guide smarter lifestyle choices that improve overall health. Yet, the constant stream of data can easily overwhelm users – especially when it’s unclear how to translate that information into meaningful, lasting, and actionable insights.
“To realize the full potential of these technologies, future health AI systems must turn raw data into personalized, clinically relevant guidance for both individuals and healthcare providers that also has the right security and privacy protection policies and solutions in place.
“Achieving this means building human-centered AI tools that integrate insights from behavioral and psychological sciences with cutting-edge machine learning – ensuring insights that are not only actionable, but achievable and sustainable.”
