5/21/15: Emre Ertin – Contactless Physiological Sensing in the Mobile Environment using Ultrawideband RF Probes

Presenter: Emre Ertin, Ph.D. Presented: May 21, 2015 About the presentation: Physiological monitoring in the mobile environment can provide visibility into the health status of individuals such as cardio-respiratory state, psychological health, addictive behavior, and patterns of social interaction. Physiological monitoring today, however, require wearing of ECG electrodes, or respiration belts, and are therefore only suitable for small-scale research studies for short-term data […]

8/06/15: James M. Rehg – Introduction to First Person Vision

Presenter: James M. Rehg, Ph.D. Presented: August 6, 2015 Recent progress in miniaturizing digital cameras and improving battery life has created a growing market for wearable cameras, exemplified by products such as GoPro and Google Glass. At the same time, the field of computer vision, which is concerned with the automatic extraction of information about the world […]

4/30/15: Susan A. Murphy – Micro-Randomized Trials for Just-In-Time Adaptive Intervention Development

Presenter: Susan A. Murphy, Ph.D. Presented: April 30 2015 About the presentation: Micro-randomized trials are trials in which individuals are randomized 100’s or 1000’s of times over the course of the study. The goal of these trials is to assess the impact of momentary interventions, e.g. interventions that are intended to impact behavior over small time intervals. We […]

6/23/15: Emerson Farrugia & David Haddad – Using open mHealth to break down the barriers to integration of digital health data.

Presenters: Emerson Farrugia and David Haddad About the presentation: With the explosion of mobile apps and devices designed to help individuals better track and improve their health, there is huge potential to use the data they collect to help doctors and patients collaborate to provide more personalized, preventive care. This data also has the potential to enable […]

8/20/15: James M. Rehg – Understanding Behavior Through First Person Vision

Expedition to develop the science and technology of Behavioral Imaging, the measurement and analysis of social and communicative behavior using multi-modal sensing, with applications to developmental disorders such as autism. He also serves as the Deputy Director of the NIH Center of Excellence on Mobile Sensor Data-to-Knowledge (MD2K). See www.cbs.gatech.edu and md2k.org for details. Learning […]

9/22/15: Eric Hekler – Precision Behavior Change: A Transdisciplinary ‘Moonshot’ Agenda for mHealth?

Presenter: Dr. Eric Hekler, Ph.D. Presented: Sept. 22, 2015 About the Presentation: As evidenced by the MD2K center, there is a rapidly growing confluence of efforts focused on articulating ways to utilize digital technologies to support health. This confluence is creating remarkable opportunities but also major challenges across a variety of disciplines. For example, the advent of digital […]
