Keynote #2

Intelligent edge: The Next Generation for Digital Health

by Christopher Nugent (Ulster University, UK)

Abstract

With the advances in modern day information and communication technologies, a range of new digital health solutions have subsequently been developed. Specifically, the embedding of sensing technologies within the home environment coupled with the increased prevalence of mobile technology have underpinned these developments. The aim of this talk is to consider what are the opportunities to bring the analytics component within digital health solutions closer to the user in their home environment and by doing so to fully embrace the concepts of the intelligent edge. The process of activity recognition will be considered as a case study.

Short Biography

Chris is currently the Head of the School of Computing at Ulster University and leads the Pervasive Computing Research Centre. His research addresses the themes of the development and evaluation of technologies to support pervasive healthcare within smart environments. Specifically, this has involved research in the topics of mobile based reminding solutions, activity recognition and behaviour modelling and more recently technology adoption modelling. He currently serves as the Program Chair for the Technology Professional Interest Area of the Alzheimer’s Association and is one of the Associate Editors for the Editorial Board of the IEEE Engineering Medicine and Biology Conference, Healthcare Information Systems Theme.
