Abstract:
Personal health monitoring systems are emerging as promising solutions to tackle healthcare costs and delivery. There is growing interest within the healthcare community in developing ultra-low power, portable devices that can continuously monitor and process several vital body parameters. In this talk, I will present our work in developing ultra-low power, affordable hardware and software platforms for continuous health monitoring. In the first part of the talk, I will present novel Networks on Chips (NoC) and multicore platform designs for WBSN applications. Then, I will present our works on on-chip machine learning and classifier design for detecting cardiac abnormalities and user's physical and mental wellness states. I will present applications and case-studies in designing IoT and wearable devices for physical and emotional health monitoring that obtains user's key physiological signals: ECG, respiration, Impedance Cardiogram (ICG), blood pressure and skin conductance and derives the user's emotion states as well. Finally, I will present the future directions of work in adaptive on-device machine learning methods and immersive virtual/augmented reality and games that integrates user's emotions.
