Mona Ghassemian (vice-Chair UK&Ireland Section) Workshop on: Wearable Systems – Design and implementation challenges
Abstract - This workshop
addresses different aspect of wearable system design from
wireless low power/low range communication systems down to
data collection protocols and data translation. Open
issues and challenges within each area are also explored
as a source of inspiration towards future developments in
wearables particularly for healthcare systems. Prototype
developments (activity recognition, Parkinson Disease,
Neurofeedback, and stress monitoring) followed by a
demonstration will conclude this seminar.
Mona Ghassemian received her PhD in
“Mobile and Personal Communications” from King’s College
London in 2006 with NTT DoCoMo scholarship. After
