Project Portfolio

Interdisciplinary project teams from both universities together with clinical and corporate partners will develop new sensors, wireless platforms and biometrics for remote monitoring of health status, interactive telemedicine and the application of cognitive computing in patient care to improve diagnosis, monitor treatment adherence, reduce hospital readmissions and maintain wellness. The initial projects will focus on cardio-pulmonary diseases, mental health and infectious disease surveillance, and their dependence on proficient capture, analysis and use of rapidly expanding large-scale data.
