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”. </span></em><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>We welcome everyone, including MSc and PhD students, to join us for this engaging and insightful event. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Each session provides a platform for researchers to: </span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Share their group’s activities. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Discuss newly approved projects. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Present PhD plans. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Brainstorm and explore innovative ideas with the community. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Event Format: </span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Style: Informal, with topics and presentation style chosen by the speaker. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Duration: ca. 30-minute talk followed by a 15-minute discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Extras: Coffee and tea will be provided for attendees. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Event Details:</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- When: Second Wednesday of every month at 14:00h. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>- Where: 11th floor (North Tower) meeting room. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Registration:</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=v1v1msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>To attend from outside the campus, please register <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFV2eLSu_vt0iJZc9ijULxJC7eR-WXdFiQL58z5JI4elCWmw/viewform" target="_blank"><u><span style='color:blue'>here</span></u></a>.
