Title:  “Self-Awareness in Remote Health Monitoring Systems using Wearable Electronics”
Speaker: Prof. Axel Jantsch, TU Wien

Date and Time:  Friday,  June 16, 2017 at 11 A.M.

Location: 2430 Engineering Hall

Host: Prof. Nikil Dutt

Abstract: In healthcare, effective monitoring of patients plays a key role in detecting health deterioration early enough. Many signs of deterioration exist as early as 24 hours prior having a serious impact on the health of a person. As hospitalization times have to be minimized, in-home or remote early warning systems can fill the gap by allowing in-home care while having the potentially problematic conditions and their signs under surveillance and control. This walk presents a remote monitoring and diagnostic system that provides a holistic perspective of patients and their health conditions. It discusses how the concept of self-awareness can be used in various parts of the system such as information collection through wearable sensors, confidence assessment of the sensory data, the knowledge base of the patient’s health situation, and automation of reasoning about the health situation. This approach to self-awareness provides

(i) situation awareness to consider the impact of variations such as sleeping, walking, running, and resting,

(ii) system personalization by reflecting parameters such as age, body mass index, and gender, and

(iii) the attention property of self-awareness to improve the energy efficiency and dependability of the system via adjusting the priorities of the sensory data collection.

Biography:

 Axel Jantsch received the Dipl.Ing. and Dr. Tech. degrees from TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, in 1988 and 1992, respectively. He was with Siemens Austria, Vienna, Austria, as a system validation engineer from 1995 to 1997. From 1997 to 2002 he was an associate professor and from 2002 to 2014 he was full professor of Electronic Systems Design at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden. Since 2014 he has been professor of Systems on Chip at TU Wien. He has published about 300 papers in international conferences and journals and one book in the areas of Systems on chip, networks on chip and embedded systems. He has served on a large number of technical program committees of international conferences, such as FDL, DATE, CODES ISSS, SOC, NOCS, and others. He has been the TPC Chair of SSDL/ FDL 2000, the TPC Co-Chair of CODES ISSS 2004, the General Chair of CODES ISSS 2005, and the TPC Co-Chair of NOCS 2009. From 2002 to 2007, he was a subject area editor for the Journal of System Architecture. He is on the editorial board for IEEE Design and Test and for the Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems. He is a member of the IEEE. His main research interest is on networks on chip and self-awareness in systems on chip and embedded systems.
