DESCRIPTION: \n*Abstract:* Digital health is rapidly expanding due to surg
 ing healthcare costs\, deteriorating health outcomes\, and the growing pre
 valence and accessibility of mobile health and wearable technologies. Rece
 nt technological advancements make it possible to closely and continuously
  monitor individuals using multiple measurement modalities in real time. W
 e are collecting and integrating such wearables data with clinical informa
 tion to gain a more precise understanding of health and disease and develo
 p actionable\, predictive health models for improving cardiometabolic and 
 infectious respiratory disease outcomes. We are simultaneously developing 
 open source data science and machine learning tools for the digital health
  community\, including the Digital Biomarker Discovery Pipeline (DBDP)\, t
 o facilitate the use of mobile device data in healthcare.\n\n\n*Bio:* Dr. 
 Jessilyn Dunn is Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Biostat
 istics & Bioinformatics at Duke University\, and Director of the BIG IDEAs
  Laboratory whose goal is to detect\, treat\, and prevent chronic and acut
 e diseases through digital health innovation. She is currently PI of the B
 ARDA-funded CovIdentify study to detect and monitor respiratory infections
  like COVID-19 using mobile health technologies\, and an NIH-funded study 
 to develop digital biomarkers of pre and type 2 diabetes. She also leads t
 he DBDP\, an open-source software platform for digital biomarker developme
 nt. Dr. Dunn was an NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) Postdoctoral Fellow a
 t Stanford and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Georgia Tech and Emory\,
  as well as a visiting scholar at the US Centers for Disease Control and P
 revention and the National Cardiovascular Research Institute in Madrid\, S
 pain. Her work has been internationally recognized with media coverage fro
 m the NIH Director’s Blog to Wired\, Time\, and US News and World Report
