DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn this talk I will present a range of projects we 
 have recently begun under the “Smart Hospital Living Lab” in Melbourne
 . The work is still ongoing\, so I will take this opportunity to received 
 feedback from the audience regarding the direction of our work and our fut
 ure plans. In this presentation I will describe how we have approached our
  collaboration with hospitals in Melbourne\, and will discuss how we use o
 ur expertise in Ubiquitous Computing and user-centered design to solve pro
 blems that the hospitals have. The presentation will give a summary of how
  a living lab approach to research works\, and how it can be used to ident
 ify problems and solutions by involving multiple stakeholders in the proce
 ss. The ongoing projects I will present include patient & staff tracking\,
  the smart pillbox\, the IV detection project\, and handwashing detection.
 \n\nBio:\nProf. Vassilis Kostakos is Professor of Human Computer Interacti
 on in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of

 nd). He earned his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University
  of Bath\, UK. He is a computer scientist who works in the fields of human
 -computer interaction and the Internet of Things. His research focuses on 
 how to model user behaviour based on sensor data\, and how to develop tech
 nologies that better understand and better respond to humans. His work com
 bines user-centered design\, machine learning\, and mobile & smartphone-ba
 sed technologies. He has previously led projects on pedestrian mobility on
  city-scale\, smartphone software for sensing users' lifestyles\, and larg
 e-scale analysis of social media. His main expertise is in smartphone sens
 ing\, context-aware computing\, and behaviour modelling. His homepage is a
