It is important for healthcare providers and caregivers to have a precise and detailed understanding of a patient’s functional, mental and psychological well-being, particularly among patients with serious illnesses or high risk comorbidities. A thorough patient assessment based on continuous data collected over longer periods of time will allow for improved risk stratification, treatment selection, and monitoring for adverse events.

As part of a collaboration between UCLA and USC under the NIH's PRISMS community, this collaborative effort focuses on the creation of an innovative end-to-end infrastructure for pediatric sensor-based health monitoring.
