This 3-week course explores the science behind wearable technology and its applications in health monitoring. Each student will be given a smart ring to use during the course. Students will learn how sensors in consumer off-the-shelf smart rings and smartwatches work and how data is processed to detect various physiological states and conditions. Each week, engineers from leading wearable companies will deliver lectures on the underlying sensor technology and algorithms used for detecting health conditions. We will explore algorithms that detect Atrial Fibrillation, COVID, Sleep Apnea, and more. The course will also cover how wearables track pregnancy, menstrual cycles, sleep stages, and other physiological processes.Students will analyze their own wearable data to quantify the physiological impact of daily activities. Due to high demand, enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more at: engineeringwellness.stanford.edu

Through tailored lecture, case study, and a practical final project, academic and professional leaders will help you gain insight into the science communications and media industry. This course assists students in developing the communication skills necessary for post-training and internship success in a science communications/media field and it provides an understanding of the scope of career opportunities within the science communications sector, focusing on the development, organization, and management issues specific to it. Through connections with alumni, faculty, and other practitioners from a variety of fields and organizations, as well as hands-on experience with the techniques and methodologies most useful on the job market, students will define their own professional goals, increase their awareness of industry terminology and theories, and hone expertise in the areas of: publishing, editing, workflow, ethics, trends, principles of effective scholarly/news writing, interviewing techniques, and media/website management.
