How can we monitor your health in a way that is personally meaningful?

Diogo Branco is a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Lisbon. His research focuses on human computer interaction, particularly in pervasive health care. Over the past five years, he has dedicated his research to designing, developing, and evaluating applications and platforms in various health care fields including Parkinson's disease.

Throughout his PhD, Diogo's primary objective is to utilize personalized tracking mechanisms to improve treatment adherence among individuals with Parkinson's and increased data availability for clinicians. In this episode, he talks to us about some of his work with patients with Parkinson's disease, with a focus on how we can make health monitoring easy and engaging so patients and clinicians can both benefit.
