Faculty Summit 2016 – Personalized Computing with Interconnected Wearables

Today’s wearable devices are rapidly shrinking in size. The next frontier of personalized computing is the interaction of these wearables with other proximal devices. Future interconnected wearables will thus exchange information with other ambient devices, perform aggregated analytics and take richer decisions. A web of wearable devices around the body constitutes a body area network (BAN), which is a subclass of the internet-of-things (IoT). Such networks form an enabling technology for novel applications such as precision healthcare, sports training, lifestyle monitoring and individualized security. Talks in this session will span energy management, systems infrastructure and data-processing platforms for interconnected wearables.
