Health information technology (HIT) offers a resource for public empowerment through tailored information.
Use interactive community health events to improve awareness of chronic disease risk factors while collecting data to improve health.
Let's Get Healthy! is an education and research program in which participants visit interactive research stations to learn about their own health (diet, body composition, blood chemistry). HIT enables computerized data collection that presents participants with immediate results and tailored educational feedback. An anonymous wristband number links collected data in a population database. RESULTS AND LESSONS LEARNED: Communities tailor events to meet community health needs with volunteers trained to conduct research. Participants experience being a research participant and contribute to an anonymous population database for both traditional research purposes and open-source community use.
By integrating HIT with community involvement, health fairs become an interactive method for engaging communities in research and raising health awareness.
健康信息技术（HIT）通过定制化信息为公众赋权提供了一种资源。
利用互动式社区健康活动提高对慢性病风险因素的认识，同时收集数据以改善健康状况。
“让我们健康起来！”是一项教育与研究项目，参与者参观互动式研究站以了解自身健康状况（饮食、身体成分、血液化学指标）。健康信息技术实现了计算机化数据收集，能为参与者提供即时结果和定制化教育反馈。一个匿名腕带号码将收集到的数据链接到一个人群数据库中。
各社区根据社区健康需求定制活动，志愿者经过培训可开展研究。参与者体验成为研究对象的过程，并为一个匿名人群数据库做出贡献，该数据库既用于传统研究目的，也供开源社区使用。
通过将健康信息技术与社区参与相结合，健康博览会成为让社区参与研究并提高健康意识的一种互动方式。
