YouM: Personalizing Student Performance at the University of Michigan

Partnership: Michigan Medicine, School of Information, School of Public Health, School of Kinesiology, and Department of Psychology

As digital natives, students are asked to provide torrents of personal biometric and behavioral data through everyday use of their wearable and cellular devices in the form of activity profiles, geospatial location monitoring, and data usage, with the expectation that such information may be useful to improve personal health and well-being.  YouM will study the use of wearable technology and genomic tools to provide actionable feedback to positively impact mental health and wellness, healthy behaviors, and ultimately, academic performance.
