Abstract:
Wearable and unobtrusive technologies are revolutionizing personal care services, as well as the screening, prevention, and management of chronic diseases. A range of patients and users may benefit from wearable and unobtrusive technologies for monitoring the progression of the pathologies, facilitating early detection and diagnosis of life-threatening diseases and stress levels, assessing the efficacy of administered therapies, providing low-cost and non-invasive diagnoses, as well as monitoring relevant or vital signals, even remotely. This talk will cover some recent technological development in this field and discuss some significant challenges that need to be addressed.
