SUMMARY:No One Left Behind: Building Low-Cost Wearables for Health Equity 
 - Longfei Shangguan\, University of Pittsburgh
DTSTART:20250513T150000Z

CONTACT:Cecilia Mascolo
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Wearable devices such as Apple Watch and Fitbit wris
 tband allow users to track their health statistics around the clock. They 
 have become increasingly popular over the past few years. However\, in the
  context of underdeveloped regions where people may earn less than 5 US do
 llars a day\, these wearable devices are still pricey and thus constitute 
 a critical bottleneck in their adoption. In this talk\, I will present our
  past and ongoing works on repurposing electronic wastes\, particularly ev
 eryday earphones into health trackers - from heart rate monitoring\, heart
  sound recovery\, all the way down to pulse wave velocity estimation. More
 over\, I will summarize our observations and insights gained from the pilo
 t study at Senegal. I believe this research creates a holistic approach to
 ward recycling and repurposing electronic waste while fostering a sustaina
 ble and equitable future.\n\nBio: Longfei Shangguan is an Assistant Profes
