Abstract

Recent advances in healthcare illuminated the role that individual traits and behaviors play in a person’s health. Consequently, a need has arisen for, currently expensive and non-scalable, continuous long-term patient monitoring and individually tailored therapies. Equipped with an array of sensors, high-performance computing power, and carried by their owners at all times, mobile computing devices promise to enable continuous patient monitoring, and, with the help of machine learning, build predictive models of patient’s health and behavior. Moreover, through their close integration with a user’s lifestyle, mobiles can be used to deliver personalized proactive therapies. In our work we develop the concept of anticipatory mobile-based healthcare (anticipatory mobile digital health) and examine the opportunities and challenges associated with its practical realization.
