DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The advent of mobile and wearable computing technolo
 gy has made it increasingly possible for individuals to wear devices that 
 can sense their physiology or health-related behaviors\, collecting valuab
 le data in support of diagnosis\, treatment\, public health\, or other app
 lications. In this talk\, we describe two research-grade platforms develop
 ed in our lab: Amulet and Auracle.  The Amulet platform is an open-hardwar
 e\, open-software wrist-worn computing device designed specifically for mH
 ealth applications\; we provide an overview of the platform and of several
  applications to research.  The Auracle is a wearable earpiece that can au
 tomatically recognize eating behavior. More specifically\, in free-living 
 conditions\, Auracle seeks to recognize when and for how long a person is 
 eating. Our experiments show Auracle can achieve accuracy exceeding 92.8% 
 and F1 score exceeding 77.5% for eating detection. Moreover\, Auracle succ
 essfully detected 20-24 eating episodes (depending on the metrics) out of 
 26 in free-living conditions.\n\nBio: David Kotz is the Champion Internati
 onal Professor in the Department of Computer Science\, Dartmouth College. 
 He previously served as Interim Provost\, as Associate Dean of the Faculty
  for the Sciences\, as the Executive Director of the Institute for Securit
 y Technology Studies\, and on the US Healthcare IT Policy Committee. His r
 esearch interests include security and privacy\, pervasive computing for h
 ealthcare\, and wireless networks. He has published over 200 refereed pape
 rs\, obtained over $67m in grant funding\, and mentored nearly 100 researc
 h students. He is a Fellow of the IEEE\, a Distinguished Member of the ACM
 \, a 2008 Fulbright Fellow to India\, and an elected member of Phi Beta Ka
 ppa.\n  After receiving his A.B. in Computer Science and Physics from Dart
 mouth in 1986\, he completed his Ph.D in Computer Science from Duke Univer
 sity in 1991 and returned to Dartmouth to join the faculty. For more infor
