Title: Interactive Technology for Personal Healthcare Applications
Abstract:
Personal healthcare technology empowers users to record and track their own health-related information for preventing diseases. But many in-home activities and scenarios remain under-explored for personal healthcare technology. Interactive Intelligent Systems Lab. led by Koji Yatani is investigating interactive technology that can exploit unique sensing opportunities and offer convenient sensing. In this talk, I present three latest research projects in this area, a plaque-aware toothbrush, opportunistic sensing in fingerprint authentication, and an alcohol-sensitive smart ice cube, and discuss future opportunities.
Bio:
Dr. Koji Yatani (http://yatani.jp) is an Associate Professor and 2017 UTokyo Excellent Young Researcher at The University of Tokyo, where he leads Interactive Intelligent Systems Laboratory (http://iis-lab.org). His main research interests lie in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and ubiquitous computing. His current research emphasis lies in development and evaluations of biometrics security systems with concurrent physiological sensing; productivity/creativity support; and assistive technology design for social activities. He received multiple Best Papers and Honorable Mention Awards at CHI and MobileHCI. He also contributed to major international conferences in the field of HCI and ubiquitous computing, including CHI, UbiComp, UIST, and MobiSys, as a senior conference and/or program committee member. He currently serves as an Editor for Proceedings of ACM Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technology (PACM IMWUT), an Associate Editor for ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI), and as a Vice chair for Japan ACM SIGCHI Chapter.

3.1 Scaling-out Longitudinal Clinical Analytics with Dataflow Processing
Joan Saez Pons, Cosmin Stamate and David Weston (Birkbeck College, United Kingdom (Great Britain)); George Roussos (Birkbeck College, University of London, United Kingdom (Great Britain))
3.2 Panel Discussion: How to Establish Objective Gold Standard Measurements for Health Constructs.
Due to participants' increased willingness to wear wrist-worn sensors, the wrist remains a major contender for tackling problems related to health and medicine. Currently physical and sedentary activity are the only constructs with acceptable gold standard passive sensing measures (e.g. Actigraph measuring MVPA and Actipal measuring types of sedentary activity). We aim to continue the discussion to change that. WristSense 2018 comprised of panelists Dr. Claudio Bettini (University of Milan, Italy), Dr. Adam Haim (NIMH - USA), and Dr. Andreas Lymberis (European Commission - Belgium). Due to the interest in the topic, we plan to continue the panel in 2019. We are putting together a unique panel discussion comprising of key individuals across academia, industry and government agencies surrounding "Defining Objective Gold Standard Measures for Health Outcomes". Our goal is to engage the research community in this important discussion, and perhaps identify a vision moving forward for technologist, behaviorist, engineers, and mHealth specialist.
