Human-Computer Interaction Institute Course Projects
Our lab frequently works with student teams from the HCII at CMU on semester-long projects building technological solutions to address important clinical problems. Previous projects have included a smartphone app to collect and visualize patient-reported symptoms during cancer treatment and a dashboard enabling surgical oncology providers to visualize patient-generated health data.
