Mixed Signals: audio and wearable data analysis for health diagnostics
Event details
In this talk, I plan to reflect on these challenges and highlight the opportunities that mobile and wearable health systems are introducing for community, the developers as well as the users. I will use examples from my group's ongoing research on exploring machine learning and data analysis for health application in collaboration with epidemiologists and clinicians. In particular I will concentrate a part of the talk on an project focusing on leveraging audio signals from the human body to help automated diagnostics and disease progression analysis.
