Tutorial Speaker at IHI 2012:
I am giving a tutorial on "Assisted Living Technologies for Older Adults" at 2012 International Health Informatics Symposium at Miami, FL. Visit this link: Tutorials at IHI 2012.
"Assisted Living Technologies
for Older Adults" Tutorial
Slides(.pdf)
Slides(.ppt)
This tutorial will explore intelligent technologies and methods
that can help health care professionals to provide better
quality care for the older adults, monitor their health
conditions in place, as well as technologies that allow the
older adults to live more independently. It will highlight
current challenges and important future directions in the field.
It will also cover a number of successful case studies such as
smart homes and intelligent reminder systems.
