MEETING RECAP: Opportunities and Obstacles in the Adoption of Digital Health


When: Tuesday April 11, 2012
Where: E-423B
Speaker: Dr. Mehran Mehregany
Topic: Pervasive Technologies Will Transform Healthcare
Abstract: Technology advances in ubiquitous sensing, wireless
communication, cloud computing and social networking platforms have the
potential to truly transform health care as we know it. These pervasive
technologies will enable individualized, preventative medicine in the form
of remote monitoring, medication compliance and mobile imaging. The result
is a new infrastructure-independent model centered on lower costs, patient
centered care and better outcomes. Infrastructure
independent health care will empower patients and families to take greater
responsibility for their own health, with the promise of improving
engagement, satisfaction, outcomes and cost. The presentation
described the premise of wireless health technology and provided examples of
meaningful innovation related to wireless health, as well as gave info on the wireless health graduate program at the Case Western Reserve University School of Engineering.

Meeting Recap: Wavelets


When: Tuesday, November 8th, 2011
Where: E423-B at 11am
Speaker: Dr. Lee Fugal
Topic: Wavelets
Abstract: Dr. Lee Fugal gave us insight how the importance of wavelets and how general Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) is not sufficient enough to show variations in time. Wavelets will give location, frequency, and the general shape of the original wave. Dr. Lee Fugal will be teaching a professional course on wavelets on February 28 in San Diego.

Meeting recap: Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) & Product Development Process


When: Tuesday, October 25th, 2011
Where: E423-B at 11am
Speaker: Al Servati, Vice President of Marketing / Home Networking
Company: Entropic Communications
Topic: Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) & Product Development Process
Abstract: Al Servati gave a very insightful presentation of how multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) works and how it compares to data transfer methods. The MoCA standard gives the possibility of sending vast amounts of data through coaxial cable enough to stream video in real time. Mr. Servati even goes on to state that there is technology that can use coaxial connections to set up wireless internet access points around a house.
