Miniature Devices for Smart Health Management

Speaker:    Prof. Jungchih Chiao

Time:        15:00-16:00, May. 3

Location:    SIST 1A 200

Host:        Prof. Xiong Wang, Fei Gao

Abstract:

Mobile technologies have changed our life style significantly. Personalized tools such as wearable and implantable devices through wireless communication and Internet of Things have been utilized in healthcare to provide unique functions and reduce costs. Individuals can be empowered with tailored solutions without limitation in mobility. Direct stimulation on tissues or organs by electrical signals can restore or improve body functions. Continuous monitoring and adaptive administration of therapy to treat symptoms via wireless body networking can adaptively optimize the closed-loop health management.

This presentation discusses the development of wireless micro devices and integrated systems for clinical applications. Examples given aim to inspire new application ideas to address the implementation and cost challenges in healthcare and enable integration of electronics and medicines to improve human welfare and assist better living. Dr. Chiao will also share with students about his experience in entrepreneurship and the career potential in healthcare industries.
