Description of symposium: Aim

How can we quantify our health?  How can our health data be integrated into the personal medicine, improve wellness, and contribute to scientific discovery? These are the significant questions to improve our daily life. To tackle this issue, our symposium aims at improving personal wellness by integrating two approaches. The first approach focuses on the recent new self-tracking technologies for monitoring personal health conditions such as sleep, diet, excise, vital data, and for analyzing the personal medical data and personal genome data. The second approach, on the other hand, focuses on the collective intelligence as the potential resources to find useful knowledge for personal wellness from knowledge from others. To tackle the above significant issues, our symposium focuses on AI techniques as the potential approach to give us new possibilities for creating new values in our future personal wellness. This symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers to discuss possible solutions for personal wellness.
