Enabling Precision Health and Medicine (2019-2020)
This Bass Connections project worked on developing the infrastructure for a new campus initiative to promote student health awareness and engagement. Participants were given wearables (Apple Watch or Fitbit) to measure their rest and activity.
The team launched a pilot study in Fall 2019 in one residence hall (Gilbert-Addoms) to assess feasibility. The team then monitored the enrollment, dropout rates and participation level over the school year and found that participation was close to 100%. The team identified new features to add for the expanded pilot study. Among these new features are gamification, the dashboard and the events directory. To implement these new features, the team developed the design, and the app will be completed by Duke OIT.
