There is a scarcity of trained healthcare professionals in India. Further, the current approach to healthcare delivery in India is symptom-driven and fails to address the underlying causes of disease which may be a result of the local socioeconomic, cultural, gender, environmental, or infrastructural situation. Chitra is a mobile platform that empowers community health workers to fill this gap between government healthcare delivery and patients' lived realities.

Connected living is a fast-growing intersection of mobile, wearable, home, community, car and other technologies to assist individuals in accomplishing more seamless interactions and goals in daily life. The Aware Home is the perfect environment for exploring how smart-home systems may be advanced in the future. Student design projects are an opportunity for students to research the preferences of the end users and design prototype systems that will inform this future.

Tours will be held once every hour (starting at 5 minutes past the hour)! Come see the tools that we use to create one-of-a-kind research prototypes. We have everything from laser cutters and 3D printers to table saws and soldering irons, and we use them to create many of the custom electronics, cases, and wearable prototypes you see in our demos. Stop by the elevator to the basement or ask the folks at the registration desk if you need help finding us! For more information please visit the GVU Prototyping Lab Website
