Title: Smart Sensing and AI for Healthcare
Abstract:
Many challenges exist in health monitoring and management, such as continuous, accurate, and comfortable monitoring of multi-parameters, early detection and warning of diseases, as well as the interaction with environments. The challenges in healthcare raise health risks and impose significant economic and social burden. Thus, seeking innovative solutions and new technologies to address these issues is very important. The development of modern sensors, Internet of Things, advanced materials, machine learning and AI technology has inspired the innovation on intelligent designs for healthcare.
The novel intelligent wellness sensing platforms seamlessly integrate smart sensing technologies, data fusion techniques, advanced materials, and clinical knowledge. Physiological signs, behaviors and environmental information can be obtained effectively. By jointly analyzing physiological and behavioral parameters with environmental interaction information and using data fusion technology, the health-related activities can be identified, predicted and evaluated. With intelligent wellness sensing platform, personal health monitoring and forecasting will be provided assisting in developing personalised healthcare and health management plan, guiding people towards a healthier lifestyle. The multidisciplinary research on smart sensing and AI for healthcare will bring new development for improving the quality of life for people ranging from babies to aging population during their everyday life and have significant social impact.
