IMSC participates in Vice President Joe Biden’s Cancer Moonshot with the ATOM-HP project

The ATOM-HP (Analytical Technologies to Objectively Measure Human Performance) project is a joint effort between the National Cancer Institute and the U.S. Department of Defense aiming at understanding human performance with the goal of optimizing performance in various contexts. For the past year, as an integral part of the ATOM-HP team, IMSC has been helping with the design of a clinical and a military study by building a platform for data collection, storage and analysis. For that IMSC leveraged its expertise in spatiotemporal data management to collect and understand human activity data in context, including data from wearable sensors (e.g., MS Band) and environment sensors (e.g., MS Kinect).

The ATOM-HP project has received a lot of media attention and was featured in preeminent events such as the South by South Lawn: A White House Festival of Ideas, Art and Action (SXSL) event, as part of the Cancer Moonshot initiative. Below are some links to these events and related press coverage.
