Overview

NINR’s Boot Camp is a one-week, intensive research training course at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, designed to increase the research capability of graduate students, faculty, and clinicians. The 2018 Boot Camp, “Precision Health: Smart Technologies, Smart Health,” will address digital health data and technologies that enable “smart health” and improved patient outcomes.

Course Objectives

• Explore the state-of-the-art of digital health, including the use of wearables, sensors, and virtual/augmented reality; the use of omics data in health care; and the creation of an interactive system for using health data.
• Discuss strategies for research and identify opportunities for and challenges to using digital health.
• Share knowledge and experiences with leaders in the field.

Course Topics

• Unboxing Digital Health introduces the significance and impact of digital health. An afternoon mini-symposium on July 23 will feature the important contributions of nursing science to promoting precision and digital health. This will be followed by a poster session for select participants to highlight their work in digital health, mobile technology, or molecular omics science.
• Connecting Health through Wearables and Sensors will explore what is emerging from mobile apps, what clinicians are learning from wearables, and how virtual/augmented reality is used in a clinical setting.
• Innovating Health through Omics will connect molecular omics data — genomics, gene expression, proteomics, microbiome — to managing health.
• Sync or Swim: Accessing, Managing, and Analyzing Data will contrast two ends of the spectrum — enabling participatory health by encouraging technology use, as well as concerns such as quality, safety, privacy, and security.
• Using Digital Health to Enhance Clinical Practice will equip participants with skills, tools, and resources for their practice.
