Contactless Cardiovascular Health Monitoring for AD using an AI-Enhanced mmWave Radar

Justin Chan, Carnegie Mellon University. Swarun Kumar, Carnegie Mellon University. Neelesh Nadkarni, University of Pittsburgh. The proposed work uniquely aims to measure pulse transit time and blood pressure across different arterial points across the body using the reflections of wireless signals from a single AI-enabled mmWave radar device, which is a key enabler towards whole-body blood flow monitoring both in home and clinical environments.

An Objective Assessment Tool for Evaluating Functioning in Older Adults

Ehsan Adeli, Victor W. Henderson, Stanford University. The proposed project aims to design a mobile app that not only instructs and records individuals performing Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) tests but also uses these data for predictive analysis to monitor and quantify the risk of cognitive impairment over time, utilizing video data analyzed for motor-cognitive relationships.

Detection of falls and other health events using sound, activity monitoring and machine learning

Richard Watkins, Livindi. The Livindi pilot project aimed to develop and test a technology platform that detects distress-related events—especially falls—using audio recognition, motion sensors, and machine learning. Participants received pre-configured kits with tablets and sensors, and the system was designed to operate entirely on-device to ensure privacy.
