1. Medical Health Application Group Members –Stephen Bonasera –Jitender Deogun –Dongming Peng –Jung Yul Lim –Michael Hempel –Tad Wysocki –Beata Wysocki –Joseph Siu –Hamid Sharif

2. Charge: Your task is to develop core ideas/projects for an $8-10M ($1.25-1.5M per year for 5 years) NIH Center proposal. Specifically, you should consider the following questions

3. Shifting Health Care to your home Why? Much, much less expensive. Predictive medicine instead reactive medicine Nebraska Center for Mobility and Function –What can we do to keep people mobile and independent Clinical care, research, teaching and medical training Public outreach and “buy in” Real-time 24/7 data collection –Location (outdoor GPS, indoor room locators) for lifespace –Mobility and Activity Levels (accelerometer data) –Appealing to allocate rural health resources –Information integrity and network Security Cyber-Physical Systems for realtime monitoring –Expert System for automating diagnostics –Automate the process of diagnosis and data analysis –Body Area Sensor Networks; wearable, washable

4. Identify the key faculty from from both campuses to involve in these projects. Include their strengths. (UNMC on next slide) UNL FacultyStrengths –Jitender DeogunWireless networks –Dongming PengRealtime analysis –Jung Yul LimNetwork theory –Michael HempelDatabase –Tad WysockiComputational engineering –Beata WysockiCyber security –Joseph Siu –Hamid Sharif

5. Identify the key faculty from from both campuses to involve in these projects. Include their strengths. UNMC Faculty Strengths Stephen BonaseraClinical Medicine Joseph SiuBiomechanics Translational studies

6. Identify external academic partners & expertise or equipment resources/strengths that are needed to accomplish these projects. Expertise in –Clinical nursing and social services expertise –Clinical Trial Coordinator –Sensor device design and development –Geographic analysis –Film/video production Equipment –Computing infrastructure, Data storage –Purpose-built device fabrication and prototyping for medical devices –Long-distance teleconferencing with rural areas

7. List potential industry/foundation partners (think broadly) and what they would contribute. Include reasons why they would be interested. Alzheimer’s association Whitehead Foundation American Federation for Aging Research NIH Veteran’s Administration Unemed for commercialization Crossbow or others for wireless sensor manufacturers Insurance companies ?

8. Describe how you would link the Center to other campus resources. Utilize supercomputers at UNL/CMS (PrairieFire, Holland Computing Center) UNO’s WINDS Lab for wireless sensor networks UNO Virtualization laboratory UNL’s Advanced Telecommunications Engineering Lab UNL’s Cyber-Physical Systems Lab UNMC Home Instead Center for Successful Aging UNMC Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases UNMC Department of Epidemiology
