Dr. CT Guan's talk: Harnessing infocomm and media technologies for medical and healthcare applications [Wednesday June 22, 2011]
With the advances of infocomm and media (ICM) technologies, especially with the substantial reduction in cost and significant improvement in portability and performance of sensors, computers and devices, many new medical and healthcare applications using ICM technologies are emerging. In this talk, he will give an introduction to various research and development activities in this field at the Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore. The applications range from brain-computer interface based treatment for ADHD, brain-computer interface based rehabilitation for stroke, medical image processing for early detection of eye diseases, remote patient monitoring, vital sign monitoring, etc. Many of these technologies aim at being use at home or community clinics.
