to enhance human health, this field tries to make medicine more
personalized. In this course, we will review methods and recent advances
in the field of digital health and personalized medicine with a focus
on the quantification of human behavior (with the tools of data science
and machine learning). This course will give an overview of devices and
sensors, methods and computational tools, and different areas where
digital devices are used to enhance people’s health and well-being.
After the initial lectures by the instructor, students will pick the
topic that they are mostly interested in. Each topic comes with a list
of articles which can help students to understand their topics better
and dig into it deeper. Each student will give an oral presentation
about their chosen topic and write a final report in form of a review
article at the end of the course. As part of the the assignments of the
course there will be exercises to improve scientific writing skills and
learning how to write a review paper. The lectures will be held during
period V at 14:15 - 16:00, in R030/T6 A136.
