On February 12th, 2025, the Session 6 of "Whatabouts at IT-Lx", will be
featuring Hugo <https://www.it.pt/Members/Index/1293>  Plácido da Silva
(Pattern and Image Analysis Group), presenting “Invisibles for Biomedical
Sensing.”

 

Abstract:

In U.S. alone, there are almost twice more heart attacks than reported home
structure fires every year. Nevertheless, a typical household has multiple
fire detectors to help prevent the latter, and virtually no way of warning
about the former. Biomedical sensing, analysis, and interpretation are basic
elements of wellbeing assessment, preventive healthcare, and creation of
better healing environments. While wearables have contributed to make such
elements a more pervasive and integral part of people’s daily lives,
biomedical sensing can take health monitoring one step further. By
incorporating biomedical sensing in the surrounding environment in a more
integrated way, biomedical sensing can become much more pervasive. Although
this approach is not likely to “replace” regular methods, they may act as an
invisible proxy or complement to regular care. In this talk we will provide
a brief introduction to the “invisibles” approach to biomedical sensing,
describing some of the ways in which they can be incorporated in our
everyday lives, and presenting practical examples of tools and conceptual
installations that illustrate how the living space of the future may become
an “invisible doctor”.
