IoT Enabled Sensors for Health, Home and Environmental Monitoring

Abstract: The advancement of sensing technologies, embedded systems, wireless communication technologies, nano-materials, and miniaturization makes it possible to develop IoT enabled smart sensing systems. IoT enabled wearable and non-wearable sensors monitor physiological parameters as well as human activities continuously to detect anyabnormal and/or unforeseen situations which need immediate attention. Therefore, necessary help can be provided in times of dire need. IoT enabled sensors provides real time environmental data which will provide full awareness of weather/climate and can be used to take any strategic/corrective actions to address issues. This seminar will discuss fabrication and developmental works on IoT enabled sensors at Macquarie University based on MEMS as well as flexible materials for home, health and environmental monitoring.

AI-based Smart Healthcare

Abstract: With the rapid aging society in developed countries particularly Japan, social costs for nursing care and medical expenses are also rising. Meanwhile, the size of the average family has continued to shrink, which results in the increase of elderly people living alone. Smart healthcare is expected to support the aging society where people can live healthily and peacefully while reducing the costs for support dramatically. To realize such a society, smart technologies are necessary. Now AI is becoming more and more important in smart healthcare as well. In this talk, we will introduce AI-based smart healthcare. We will also introduce some techniques to detect mental diseases.
