Wright State University

Data Science for Healthcare Lab

We build data-driven approaches to healthcare challenges using wearable sensing, machine learning, and human-centered research design. Our work connects computational methods with practical needs in health and learning.

About the lab

The DASH Lab is an academic research group at Wright State University. We focus on psychologically meaningful questions that matter to students, families, and community partners in the Miami Valley.

Research areas

Wearable sensing, artificial intelligence for health, cognitive flow, and data-driven decision support.

Opportunities

We regularly recruit participants for new studies and welcome students interested in hands-on research experience.

Location

Dayton, Ohio
Wright State University
