SUMMARY:Health Monitoring with Wireless Sensors and Machine Learning - Bru

DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces the Emerald health monitoring system\, a 
 new technology that automates health monitoring through innovations in wir
 eless sensing and machine learning. An Emerald device in the home transmit
 s low-power radio signals and records their reflections. The recorded data
  is then passed to the cloud for processing using neural network algorithm
 s. The monitoring system can infer the movements\, breathing\, heart rate\
 , falls\, sleep apnea\, and sleep stages of people in their homes — all 
 without requiring them to wear any sensors. By monitoring physiological si
 gnals continuously\, the system can automatically detect deterioration in 
 health conditions\, enabling early intervention and care. The talk will de
 scribe the underlying technology and present results demonstrating its pro
 mise in monitoring geriatric populations.\n\nBio:\nBruce Maggs received th
 e S.B.\, S.M.\, and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the Massachuset
 ts Institute of Technology in 1985\, 1986\, and 1989\, respectively. His a
 dvisor was Charles Leiserson. After spending one year as a Postdoctoral As
 sociate at MIT\, he worked as a Research Scientist at NEC Research Institu
 te in Princeton from 1990 to 1993. In 1994\, he moved to the Computer Scie
 nce Department at Carnegie Mellon\, where he ultimately achieved the rank 
 of full Professor. While on a two-year leave-of-absence from Carnegie Mell
 on\, Maggs was a founding employee of Akamai Technologies\, serving as its
  first Vice President for Research and Development. In 2009\, Maggs joined
  Duke University\, where he is the Pelham Wilder Professor of Computer Sci
 ence. In 2018 he was part of a large team that received the inaugural ACM 
 SIGCOMM Networking Systems Award for the Akamai Content Distribution Netwo
 rk\, and was named an ACM Fellow. Maggs is currently on part-time leave fr
 om Duke and is serving as Director of Engineering for Emerald Innovations.
