Technology for Healthy Aging Research Seminar
Successful development of technology--and training of technology innovators and researchers--is challenging and inherently interdisciplinary. This is especially true when designing for user populations that are younger, older, or are living with impairments and disabilities.
Computer Vision in Long-Term Care: Challenges and Opportunities
Computer vision systems can play an important role in providing care to individuals living with physical or cognitive disability. This talk will provide an overview of several vision-based systems under development for such purpose. Examples include ambient monitoring of pain in older adults with dementia and ambient monitoring of fall risk in older adults residing in long-term care facilities.
Implementing and Adopting Technologies for Healthy Aging
As a society we have reached an inflection point where disparities in technology adoption rate by age group, amid the pandemic, and technological innovations are altering the landscape of the healthcare, creating both opportunities and challenges for improving healthy aging. Today, a person can expect to live an average of 22 years longer than people who were alive 70 years ago. There is evidence of the accelerated diffusion of technologies; however, data show consistent disparities in adoption rates.

Smart Lighting and Student Performance: A Novel System Design, Implementation, and Effects in Classrooms
Presented by: Baoshi Sun, MASc student, Systems Design Engineering
Abstract: As one of the most essential factors of learning environment, lighting in classroom has been found to have significant impact on student performance. Moreover, brightness level and correlated color temperature (CCT) are the two key luminous properties that have been examined in many relevant studies. And researchers were increasingly focusing on the diversity of luminous requirements under different learning context.

Small-scale Magnetically Actuated Robotic Tools for Biomedical Applications
Research seminar
Small scale robots have the potential to offer many unique applications for minimally invasive surgery, sensing and drug delivery in healthcare as well as more generally for microfactories and as scientific tools. They are precise end-effectors that can manipulate objects with a high degree of accuracy. Many surgical and on-chip tasks can be performed by manipulating these robots in their dedicated environments.
Autonomous Medical Robots Guided by Real-Time 3D Imaging
Research seminar
Modern surgical procedures require delicate tissue interactions and thus benefit greatly from the precise manipulations offered by medical robots. Similarly, live 3D imaging modalities (e.g., optical coherence tomography [OCT], ultrasound) offer rich clinical data streams useful for guiding surgical instruments.
