Talk Title:
Future Home Healthcare Empowered by Mobile Sensing
Talk Abstract :
Sensing is an effective means to connect the physical world and digital space. Exploring the intelligent sensing capability has drawn researcher’s great attention. It is quite excited to see in recent years, besides wearable sensing, people have also begun to explore the acoustic, wireless signal, light, and other ambient communication medium’s capability for sensing purpose. In this talk, I will introduce some of our work related to how to leverage the communication medium's sensing capability to enable smart healthcare applications, especially focus on home care scenario.
