Point and Click: Helping Patients and Clinicians Optimize Diet Interventions Across the Cancer Continuum
University of Michigan School of Public Health
M1152 SPH II, 1415 Washington Heights Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2029
The NIH has recently awarded $170 million to fund the Nutrition for Precision Health study, demonstrating a shift toward using individual-specific data to provide personalized nutrition assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation. To assist with this endeavor, wearable technology and digital interventions (e.g., mobile health apps) have been used to understand the contextual factors surrounding eating and to encourage health-promoting behaviors. However, access to nutrition services is restricted by inadequate reimbursement coverage and provider burden - particularly for cancer-related nutrition care. This talk will focus on how my research group and I have been developing and testing new technologies to advance accessible nutrition care across the cancer control continuum. The talk will also highlight future plans for how we plan to optimize these interventions to support individualized care between patients and clinicians. Dr. Annie W. Lin is currently an Assistant Professor at Benedictine University. She completed a joint MS/RD program at Rush University and a PhD in Human Nutrition at Cornell University (minoring in nutritional epidemiology, physiology). She was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the NCI-funded T32 Behavioral and Psychosocial Research Training Program in Cancer Prevention and Control at Northwestern University. She currently holds a dual appointment as Adjunct Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University. Her research program focuses on using technology-assisted strategies to promote healthy diet behaviors in the context of cancer prevention and treatment. Dr. Lin is currently leading several collaborations that investigate how to effectively facilitate conversations about health promotion between patients and clinicians via technology. With the support of research assistants and colleagues, she hopes to encourage successful translation of nutrition research into clinical practice and public health. Nutritional Sciences
