报告摘要：

Abstract:Several of the grand challenges in engineering for current and future societal needs require smart sensors, smart homes and data analytics. In the health area, we will discuss some major healthcare issues related to aging and several examples of smart sensor systems. We will discuss the use of sensor systems to measure your walking signals and sleep quality, and their customization to an individual’s needs. Smart sensors are also used for a living diary and in a smart home server that functions as the “brain” of a smart medical home. In all these applications, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is a key enabler for their user-friendly, accurate and cost effective use. In addition, we will discuss what are the trends and opportunities in smart sensors. This will include various high-impact applications of smart sensors, the pervasiveness of smart phones and their feasible applications in sensing and monitoring, what are some healthcare market drivers, the growing demand for personal health and wellness monitoring systems, IoTs, and wearable technologies and the role AI will play in them. The presentation will include the use of data analytics and AI to provide important customizable information to the users based on data collected from a variety of sensors and IoT devices. Finally, we will discuss the applications of smart sensors and data analytics, and what are some important research issues in sensors, home networks, autonomic systems and healthcare in the context of a futuristic smart medical home.
