Abstract:

Nowadays Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices are all around our
daily lives, offering the capabilities of in-situ sensing and networked
computing across connected devices. Moreover, the breakthroughs of machine
learning have enabled an emerging class of new AIpowered mobile health
systems, which hold the promise of transforming today's reactive
healthcare practice to proactive, personalized, and seamless care and
well-being. However, challenges arise when implementing these systems for
real-world healthcare applications. In this talk, I will first introduce
the design and deployment of an end-to-end Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
monitoring system that integrates multi-modal sensors and federated
learning algorithms for detecting multidimensional digital biomarkers in
natural living environments. Such a system offers a new platform for early
AD diagnosis and personalized intervention. I will then introduce how we
address real-world challenges to advance AI in practical IoT systems, such
as imperfect IoT data, limited resources, scalability, and run-time system
dynamics.
