Wearable systems play an important role in continuous health monitoring and can contribute to early detection of abnormal health-related events and facilitate the advancement of personalized healthcare. The neck is a unique sensing location because it provides access to a set of health-related data that other wearable devices simply cannot obtain. Activities including breathing, chewing, clearing the throat, coughing, swallowing, speech and even heartbeat can be recorded from around the neck.

Through DataWorks, we hope to broaden participation in computing, and in the process, foster diverse approaches to data science, support equitable labor practices, and develop just forms of engagement between universities and communities.
