Room: R1 - Paul Revere
Abstract: The fast development and deployment of wireless communication technologies, such as 3G/4G/5G, and mobile devices, including sensors, robots, smartphones and pads, have significantly changed the way we study, live and work. Wireless health and innovative health technologies create an ideal platform for global partnerships striving to improve health and wellbeing, Wireless health systems are now capable of real-time, constant and widespread monitoring at home, work, or medical institutions. Such health technologies not only facilitate early-detection and rehabilitation, but also supply assistance for prevention of illness. In this talk, Dr. Shi will talk about the opportunities of wireless health, and share their experiences and lessons learned on several wireless health projects in the past six years.

Yingying (Jennifer) Chen Professor Graduate Program Director of Information and Data Engineering (IDE) Graduate Program Director of Networked Information Systems (NIS) Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Stevens Institute of Technology
Room: R1 - Paul Revere
Abstract: Tracking human vital signs of breathing and heart rates during sleep is important as it can help to assess the general physical health of a person and provide useful clues for diagnosing possible diseases. Traditional approaches (e.g., Polysomnography (PSG)) are limited to clinic usage. Recent radio frequency (RF) based approaches require specialized devices or dedicated wireless sensors and are only able to track breathing rate. New studies using smartphone sensors for sleep monitoring can only detect coarse-grained sleep events such as body movement, cough and snore. We propose to track the vital signs of both breathing rate and heart rate during sleep by using mobile devices without any wearable or dedicated devices. Two novel approaches are developed: the first one is to exploit the readily available smartphone earphone placed close to the user to reliably capture the human breathing sound. Given the captured acoustic sound, our system performs noise reduction to remove environmental noise and then identifies the breathing rate based on the signal envelope detection. The second approach is re-uses existing WiFi network and exploits the fine-grained channel information to capture the minute movements caused by breathing and heart beats. Our system thus has the potential to be widely deployed and perform continuous long-term monitoring. The developed algorithm makes use of the channel information in both time and frequency domain to estimate breathing and heart rates, and it works well when either individual or two persons are in bed.

- Keynote 3: Toward Ultrasonically Networked Miniaturized Medical Implants
Tommaso Melodia Associate Professor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Northeastern University 422 Dana Hall, Boston, MA 02115
Room: R1 - Paul Revere
Abstract: Wirelessly networked systems of implantable sensors and actuators could enable revolutionary new applications with a potential to advance the medical treatment of major diseases of our times. Yet, most "body area networks" research to date has focused on communications among devices interconnected through electromagnetic radio-frequency (RF) waves (often along the body surface); while the key challenge of enabling networked intra-body miniaturized smart implants that communicate through body tissues is largely unaddressed. A key obstacle is posed by fact that the human body is composed primarily of water - a medium through which RF electromagnetic waves do not propagate well.In this talk, I will give an overview of our ongoing work attempting to establish wireless communication links and networks through human tissues by means of acoustic waves at ultrasonic frequencies. We will discuss fundamental aspects of ultrasonic propagation in human tissues and their impact on wireless protocol design at different layers of the protocol stack. We will then discuss our progress in designing and prototyping embedded systems with ultrasonic communication capabilities.

Room: R1 - Paul Revere
Abstract: An important step in improving preventative healthcare is to shift the focus from treating clinically apparent medical problems to preventing symptom progression through early detection and targeted intervention. In this new paradigm, integration of novel sensor technologies, wearable monitors, smartphones, information technologies, signal processing algorithms, and telecommunications have the potential to revolutionize healthcare. Current monitoring technologies to detect worsening health status are not user-friendly, reliable or affordably priced. A home-based vital sign monitor that integrates early detection and is designed to promote acceptance and cooperation by patients would have important clinical and research applications. To this end, this keynote talk will highlight some recent advances in wearable devices, novel sensors and medical software applications on smartphones that have the potential to provide accurate, reliable vital signs and specific cardiovascular diagnostics including detection of atrial fibrillation which affects more than 5 million Americans

- Keynote 5: Geolocalisation using RF Signals
Dr Ilir Progri, Giftec, Inc.
Room: R1 - Paul Revere
Abstrat: Principles and Simulations offers an overview of the best practices and innovative techniques in the art and science of geolocation over the last twenty years. It covers all research and development aspects including theoretical analysis, RF signals, geolocation techniques, key block diagrams, and practical principle simulation examples in the frequency band from 100 MHz to 18 GHz or even 66 GHz. Dr. Progri reveals the research and development process by demonstrating how to understand and explain geolocation of RF signals from basic diagrams to the final principle simulation examples and make recommendations for the future final products of geolocation of RF signals. Starting with RF signals, the tutorial progressively examines various signal bands – such as VLF, LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, and, K and the corresponding geolocation requirements per band and per application – to achieve required performance objectives of up to 0º precision. Next follows a step-by-step approach of RF geolocation techniques and concludes with notes on state-of-the-art geolocation designs as well as advanced features found in signal generator instruments. The tutorial also includes the best mathematical techniques employed for geolocation of RF signals at 100 MHz to 18 GHz or even 66 GHz.

Room: R1 - Paul Revere
In this session, we will examine different technology domains that are poised to enable disruptive innovations in the life sciences and the standards that are necessary in each of those domains to collectively make innovations in both clinical care as well as clinical trials. These technologies can range from mobile platforms that can securely collect, store, and transmit patient data to medical devices that must satisfy critical regularly hurdles to algorithms that process data to deliver information products to users. Standards have played a critical role in each of these technology domains but must now be increasingly viewed across multiple domains to enable progress in highly multi-disciplinary domains. This is especially true in the life sciences where there is a growing intersection between the goals of life science and engineering organizations. We will view this topic from the perspectives of different contributors in this emerging area who have experience with key technologies and the standards that enable them, and are working to bring these technologies to the forefront of life science applications.Panelists: 1) Donna Hudson, University of California San FranciscoIEEE Life Sciences Technical Community (LSTC), Chair" Connecting IEEE and the Life Sciences Technical Community"2) Nirmal Keshava, AstraZenecaIEEE LSTC Standards Committee Member"Pharmaceuticals & big data analytics: "Moving from Data to Knowledge to Value With Large-Scale Analytics"3) Carole Carey, C3-Carey Consultants, LLCIEEE LSTC and Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Standards Committee Chair"Fostering Innovations in the Life Sciences: Get Involved with IEEE Standards Development"4) Joel Rodriguez, Instituto de Telecomunicações, University of Beira InteriorIEEE LSTC, Co-chair Publications CommitteeIEEE LSTC, Standards Committee Member"Linking Standards and mHealth"5) Nazim Agoulmine, University of Èvry Val d'EssonneIEEE LSTC, Communications Society Representative "LS Data Communication Technologies: Standards, Barriers and Challenges"
