TOPIC：
Wearable Sensors and Systems with CVD Applications
ABSTRACT：
The significant advances we have witnessed in semiconductor technology in past several decades has driven remarkable innovations in information and communications systems that seemed to be science fiction in the late twentieth century. Now, more recently in the past couple of decades, advances in semiconductor technologies are driving innovations in low-cost, user-friendly smart wearable sensors and systems to manage health. This is especially important in the realm of remote, personalized patient care that is recently catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first part of this presentation, we will discuss the symptoms and diagnoses of common cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy, and the gaps in our understanding from the clinical perspective. In the second part, we will discuss the important role of wearable sensors and systems in monitoring CVDs. We will introduce the key enabling technologies for sensors, low-power data processing and communications, and data analysis to create smart wearable sensors and systems used to manage health, with a focus on the heart and CVDs.
