08:309.1.1GAME CHANGING INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN FOR EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE
Speaker:
Chris Van Hoof, IMEC, BE
Abstract
Vision and positioning the talks of the day in perspective to the overall challenge.
09:009.1.2ADVANCED SELF-POWERED SYSTEMS OF INTEGRATED SENSORS AND TECHNOLOGIES
Speaker:
Veena Misra, ASSIST, NC State University, US
Abstract
Development of nano-enabled energy harvesting, energy storage, nanodevices, and sensors enables innovative battery-free, body-powered, and wearable health monitoring systems. One of challenges addressed in this presentation is developing efficient ways to harness energy from the human body or the environment, convert it to usable forms, and store it in ultra-high-density capacitors. Another focal point of research is low-Power nanoelectronics with the aim to design low-power electronics and antennae.
09:309.1.3HEALTHCARE IN AN INTEGRATED DIGITAL WORLD
Speaker:
Jean-Paul Linnartz, Philips, NL
Abstract
Integration (IC) technology, smart systems and large scale analysis of measurements and data are rapidly innovating many aspects of the healthcare system. This includes innovations in imaging such as enhancing the resolution, ability to differentiate between tissues and compensation of artifacts. Many imaging modalities require advanced signal handling, often in massively parallel structures. At the same time, miniaturization of sensors and actuators paves the way for minimally invasive in-body devices for diagnostics and for interventions, which then become part of integrated interventional solutions.
