Congratulations to Ning Xia on the successful defense of his Master's Thesis, "HealthyLifeHRA: Web Application" in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science!
The abstract of his thesis is pasted below.
Abstract
A health risk assessment (HRA) system is an important tool for helping people
realize what lifestyle changes they should have in order to live a healthier and
longer life, and what benefits they can have by doing the right things. In this thesis,
we discuss the design and implementation of various components of the web-based
version of a health risk assessment system, called the HealthyLifeHRA system, which
is being developed by a multi-institutional team of researchers.
The HealthyLifeHRA system allows a user to take a questionnaire, and produces a visualized report with statistics, messages, pictures, and bar charts about the user’s health status, that highlights potential mortality risks of the participant. Questions in the questionnaire include basic demographic information, epidemiologic data, and life-style information. This tool can be used by health care providers to communicate with patients on their health status. And individual users can use it to become aware of their health situation, and, perhaps, take early measures to deal with various higher-level mortality risks in their lifestyles.
The HealthyLifeHRA family consists of a website version, a standalone version, an iPad version and an Android tablet version. Web-based version of the HealthyLifeHRA family takes advantage of various computing and web technologies, and provides multiple HRA client systems for use in primary care clinical settings. The web-based version includes a client-side interface library, a client-side report generation library and a server-side risk computation engine.
