SUMMARY:Leveraging Generative AI Chatbots in Public Health Communication
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be delivered by UWaterloo Adjunct Professor a
 nd VP\nof the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit\, Dr. Steven Rebellato. 
 This\nsession will explore how Generative AI chatbots\, like the one\ndeve
 loped for the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit in collaboration\nwith t
 he University of Waterloo\, are revolutionizing public health by\nimprovin
 g accessibility\, efficiency\, and service delivery. The lecture\nwill del
 ve into an advanced evaluation framework assessing chatbot\nperformance\, 
 consistency\, and user experience\, while addressing\nchallenges like misi
 nformation\, adaptability\, privacy and data\nintegrity. Join us to gain v
 aluable insights into the integration of\ncutting-edge AI technologies in 
 public health and their implications\nfor equity and service improvement.

SUMMARY:Interventional Psychiatry & Digital Interventions: Clinical & Emerg
 ing\nResearch Perspectives
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The Interventional Neuropsychiatry Program at the University of
 \nToronto has three pillars with a focus on novel and emerging\ntreatments
  in the realms of: A) Pharmacology (e.g.\, IV ketamine\,\nnitrous oxide\, 
 psychedelics)\; B) Brain stimulation (e.g.\, rTMS\, TI\,\nFES)\; C) Digita
 l Interventions/Therapeutics. The research program aims\nto understand mec
 hanisms behind treatment response with an emphasis on\ndigital data captur
 e accompanied by application of AI/analytics. This\ntalk will provide an o
 verview of research paradigms in this emerging\ndomain with a particular e
 mphasis on activities within the Digital\nPillar which houses the Digital 
 Interventions & Intelligence Group\n(DiiG)

SUMMARY:Biomedical Engineering and Technology Research Day Keynote Address\
 nwith Kathryn Grandfield
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Uncovering the mechanisms of biomaterial-bone attachment is\nco
 mplicated by the complex and three-dimensional hierarchical\nstructure of 
 human bone. Our work explores the structure and formation\nof bone and its
  attachment to biomaterials with advanced microscopy\napproaches. This tal
 k will introduce a range of correlative\, 3D\, and\nreal-time high-resolut
 ion approaches to probe both biomineralization\nand osseointegration inclu
 ding electron tomography\, focused ion beam\nmicroscopy\, _in situ_ liquid
  phase TEM\, and atom probe tomography.\nThese correlative microscopies pr
 ovide a foundation for understanding\nthe structure and chemical nature of
  inorganic and organic\nbiomaterials\, including shedding light on the tit
 anium-bone interface\,\ncollagen-mineral arrangement\, new approaches for 
 visualizing osteocyte\nnetworks\, and mineralization events in liquids. Th
 ese platforms for\ncharacterization have broad applications across the fie
 ld of\nbiomedical engineering.

SUMMARY:Profs Presents - Beyond Limitations: How Inclusive Technologies Can
 \nBreak Down Barriers in Disability and Mental Health
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a world where everyone\, regardless of ability\, can lo
 se\nthemselves in the joy of playing a videogame\, or the thrill of playin
 g\nmusic\, or even the satisfaction of being able to water your plants or\

 technologies that can help support everyone to participate\nand enjoy thei
 r hobbies no matter their cognitive or physical ability.\nIn this talk she
  will discuss some of her previous work and ongoing\nprojects in her lab t
 he Embodied Computing Lab where she is working on\nprojects in both the ar
 ea of accessible technology and designing\ntechnology to support mental he
 alth.
