given smartphones with a mobile app, called iEpi, that captured data about their locations, interactions, and disease symptoms. We developed Graph-coupled Hidden Markov Models (GCHMMs) which use this data to predict whether a student was likely to fall ill
due to their interactions. Using a hierarchical version of GCHMMs we can combine with demographic data and see that certain characteristics, such as drinking, and poor sleep quality, increased the likelihood of contracting influenza, as well as recovery time.</span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></div>

app includes data in the form of daily surveys, fitness tracker information, and mobile phone task data. The daily surveys about symptoms and medications can potentially be completed with a single notification swipe; sleep and activity data can be collected
passively using HealthKit; and mobile phone tasks include finger tapping, gait analysis, as well as additional cognitive and motor tasks. Data collected provides an opportunity for the development of novel machine learning methods for learning about chronic
disease and novel sensor types. The app will soon be released to the Apple app store, and piloted in clinic at Duke University.</font></span></div>
