The Institute for Security, Technology, and Society (ISTS) at Dartmouth College is dedicated to pursuing research and education to advance information security and privacy throughout society. ISTS engages in interdisciplinary research, education and outreach programs that focus on information technology (IT) and its role in society, particularly the impact of IT in security and privacy broadly conceived. ISTS nurtures leaders and scholars, educates students and the community, and collaborates with its partners to develop and deploy IT, and to better understand how IT relates to socio-economic forces, cultural values and political influences.

This Dartmouth research will address fundamental challenges in information security in healthcare, such as protecting the security of clinical information while ensuring that clinicians can access information they need, and enhancing the collection of data from wearable sensor devices to enable physicians to better monitor patients' health with both security and privacy in mind. The Institute for Security, Technology, and Society (ISTS) led the proposal effort and was instrumental in bringing together faculty from departments across campus, as well as recruiting partners from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (White River Junction, Vt.), Intel Labs, and Google. The TISH team brings a multidisciplinary approach to developing and analyzing information-sharing technology that ensures security and privacy while meeting the pragmatic needs of patients, clinical staff, and healthcare organizations to deliver efficient, high-quality care.

Tanzeem Choudhury, assistant professor of Computer Science, has been named a TEDIndia Fellow for 2009. A complement to the U.S.-based TED and TEDGlobal programs, TEDIndia aims to “bring together young world-changers and trailblazers who have shown unusual accomplishment and exceptional courage,” and “provide a snapshot of the creativity and innovation emerging from South Asia.” Choudhury’s current research involves developing machine learning techniques for systems that can reason about human activities, interactions, and social networks in everyday environments. |
