“Designing Technology for Improving Human Health & Well-being”

Background

Laura’s research focuses on the design of intelligent systems for understanding the dynamics and personalization of health and well-being. Fusing computational methods with technology such as smartphones and wearables, Laura’s group studies how macro and micro-level human behaviors manifest in the wild and how these behaviors relate to health. Laura’s technology and methods have been applied to chronic diseases such as anxiety, depression, cancer, infectious disease, and traumatic brain injury.
