HRfH: Advancing Cardiovascular Monitoring - From Radar Sensing to Wearable Emergency Detection

Описание: In this webinar, Ela Gruzewska (Google) and Jake Sunshine (University of Washington and Google), will explore new advances in using consumer devices aimed at improved cardiovascular monitoring. Their talks will range from heart-rate sensing using radar to detecting cardiac arrest using commodity sensors and wearables.

Jake Sunshine will explore how passive sensing on commodity devices can be employed to recognise life-threatening cardiac and breathing emergencies.
He will discuss:
Research and development of systems to detect cardiopulmonary emergencies with a focus on watch-based detection of cardiac arrest.
The challenges involved in constructing these systems as well as lessons learned in real world deployment.

Ela Gruzewska will explain how Google’s research demonstrated transfer learning between consumer-grade radar modalities, specifically from Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) to Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radar, for heart-rate monitoring. Drawing on this work, Ela will highlight how transfer learning can reduce the need for new, device-specific data collection, accelerating research and development in the field.

This session will be especially valuable for researchers, clinicians, digital-health developers.
