Major: Engineering sciences, with a minor in human-centered design
Sophie Sheeline decided to try engineering the week before beginning at Dartmouth, a choice that became the foundation of her next four years. An interest in for global health and development led to working in Rwanda on small-scale hydropower sites with Dartmouth Humanitarian Engineering, as a Woman In Science Project intern in Dartmouth’s mHealth Lab, and as a developer and project manager in the DALI Lab. Sheeline began exploring the intersection of architecture and engineering as a platform for improving people’s quality of life. She seeks to inspire empathy and awareness, and enable the disabled. Her projects include a necklace questioning heteronormativity, music-based architecture for nursing home residents with dementia, and a system to enable people with paralysis to use the restroom independently. She is a member of Dartmouth women’s club soccer and Sigma Delta. Next year, Sheeline will return to Dartmouth for two terms for her bachelor‘s of engineering.

“I go to the VAC to think. This place is where all my interests clicked. I can be so focused here that time disappears. I also love the collaborative studio culture and have learned so much from peers here.”

Number in the middle = hScore.
The hScore is numeric measure designed to provide a holistic view of a single individual, that represents the quality of their current health based on known measures.
This chart isn't a see it + know it (at first encounter). You have to live with it for a while to recognize the patterns. While it's not quite there yet, there is some goodness here.
Some metrics you want low, some you want high... and that's fine for these charts when you use them over time.
Then you'll have recognizable patterns to overlay on your graph, like diabetes, and you'll see whether your profile measures up to a typical diabetic profile...
Now consider you're a nurse or doctor seeing today's patient list; who is at risk? Where are the "pain" points. What am I seeing over and over again? Etc...

There is growing recognition that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) dominate both health care needs and expenditure in all developed and most low and middle-income countries. NCDs cause an estimated 36 million deaths every year, including 9 million people dying prematurely before the age of 60.
Mobiles are the most rapidly adopted technology in the world. Mobile phones are already being successfully used in different fields such as banking, governance, agriculture, education as well as health, improving access to health services, training health workers, and assist individuals to manage their diseases. We may soon be living in a world where the medical profession is prescribing more apps than drugs!
There is an incredible opportunity to use mobile as a platform for non-communicable disease prevention and control. The initiative we are here to discuss today focuses on the use of mobile technology to take on non-communicable diseases – in the areas of prevention, enforcement and treatment - and how to integrate these in health systems. This initiative is relevant to all countries - high, middle and low income. Costa Rica, represented here today by its Minister for Health, H.E. Minister Daisy Coralez, is the first country planning to implement the mHealth for NCDs program and we look forward to hearing from other countries experences and expectations - both from the panel and the room.
Our distinguished panel will discuss how these recent technological innovations are changing the healthcare and health-management context for NCDs, and providing the global community with new opportunities for prevention and control. The panel will discuss this unique opportunity and the challenges in using mHealth for prevention, treatment and policy enforcement for NCDs.

A frontline health worker advises a young woman on positive health practices via Mobile Kunji.
India’s mHealth projects, run by BBC Media Action, are designed to provide ongoing learning and development support to frontline health workers via their mobile phones to help them in their efforts to reduce maternal and child mortality rates during their home visits with families.
Mobile Kunji combines an interactive voice response service with a simple deck of illustrated cards, each communicating an important health message (which can also be played as an audio message via mobile phone) to persuade families to adopt positive health practices.
Health workers can also access a complimentary training course via a simple phone call, giving them access to refreshers on technical health content and tips and tricks for effective communication.
As of May 2014, all 38,512 frontline health workers had begun the Mobile Academy course, and Mobile Kunji had been accessed by over 160,000 unique users.
mHealth and Mobile Kunji are funded by UK aid.

In Southern California, diabetes plagues the Latino population, said Elizabeth Burner, MD, MPH, a research fellow at the Department of Emergency Medicine at LAC and USC. But due to language, culture, and other barriers, these patients may not manage their disease optimally.
Burner tested the use of a program that used mobile phones to text educational and motivational messages to diabetes patients to improve their understanding of the disease and encourage meaningful lifestyle changes. During the study, researchers texted reminders about nutrition, medications, and exercise, prompting some participants to adopt healthier behaviors.
Because mobile phones are nearly ubiquitous in America, "mHealth" could be a powerful public health approach.
"The SC CTSI provided funding and a way for us to look at this kind of technology and develop a way to get more deeply into the community and turn our idea into something real," said Burner.

This infographic showcases the engagement of IFPMA member companies and associations in the mHealth area. mHealth initiatives allow to connect with the general public, patients, and healthcare professionals at home or on the move, at the local dispensary, pharmacy, or hospital - through SMS and applications - to promote general health, manage infectious diseases, prevent and control non-communicable diseases (NCDs), address mental disorders, improve women's and children's health, and support emergency aid. IFPMA members' mobile solutions include a range of services such as mAwarness, mBehavioural change, mDisease management, mTraining and mMonitoring.
