PatiMon Patient Monitoring Pu

An important cornerstone of the PatiMon project is the surveillance of sensor measurements done by the system. The following aspects will be considered:

To know the precise recognition rate is of vital importance to gain the trust of doctors and patients in the new technology. An important measurement is the ratio between false-positives alarms, i.e., falsely initiated alarms and false-negatives alarms, i.e., missed alarms. Clearly, the number of false negatives will have to be 0 for life-threatening situations. On the other hand, the patient will tend to ignore alarms if the number of false alarms is too large. We will provide a precise analysis of the recognition capabilities of the system to assure a 100% recognition rate for life-threatening situations.
A further problem is the learning rate of the recognition system. Also, as each patient is different, the sensors of the recognition system will have to adapt to the every new patients. It is needed to investigate this adoption time (calibration time). In addition, it is important to investigate how good the system can adapt as this has an influence on the recognition rates.
High recognition rates can be achieved. It would be wishful to investigate ways to keep the high recognition rates while decreasing technical demands. Smaller technical demands lead to an increase in technical ease-ness, a simplification in use and also a decrease in price.
Post acquisition of data from subject. My interest is in the post analytical phase data from subject in appliances beyond basic monitoring. My two PhD students will map the information to PDA for self monitoring as well as the mapping to environments that satisfy the afferent efferent feedback loop that is so inherent to this study and my own personal research. Therefore initiating a new s.o.a. with innovative applications beyond that which as originally conceptualized.

Short CV and Experience of Volker Krüger:

Volker Krüger has received his Diploma at the University of Kiel in 1996. His thesis was a joint research project with Prof. G. Sandini at University of Genoa and Prof. Sommer at the University of Kiel. In 2001 he received his Ph.D with distinction. His supervisor was Prof. Sommer at the University of Kiel. The topic of the thesis was concerned with probabilistic learning and recognition with Gabor wavelet network.

In Aug. 2000 he has joined the University of Maryland and was the leading scientist on the U.S. Government (DARPA) funded Human Identification at a Distance (HID) project with an annual budget of 1Mio.$.

Since Aug. 2002, Volker Krüger is an Assoc. Prof. at the Medialogy group, Aalborg University, Esbjerg.

His major research interest is probabilistic approaches for machine learning, machine perception and recognition from time sequences for the purpose of object, face and action recognition.

Short CV and Experience of Tony Brooks:

Tony Brooks is a performing and conceptual artist and researcher. He has presented his work at numerous international conferences and events, lecturing widely at universities, colleges, and institutes worldwide. His work, titled "Soundscapes," is currently being researched at the Center for Brain Injury, Copenhagen University, Denmark, with the support of a government grant. He has a company which is centered around the research and development of his concept, - - a concept based on non-verbal communication through interacting with music and images - - which is being realized in the production of a non-wearable sensor system for motion capture. This translates movement into real-time control and manipulation of musical and visual feedback. His work was recently based at the Center for Advanced Visualization and Interactivity (CAVI) in Aarhus, Denmark.
Currently, he utilizes the body as his instrumental interface within a self-created VIS (Virtual Interactive Space) that can translate his gestures into audio-visual feedback. As compositional tools in his work, Tony uses brain waves, muscle tension, heartbeats, GSR, and other biofeedback sources as well as the air space that surrounds the body.
He is also involved in the European 5th Framework IST project 'CARE HERE' (Creating Aesthetic Resonant Environments for Handicapped, Elderly and REhabilitation).

His major research interests are:

· Human Computer Interaction and multi sensory multidisciplinary applications.

· Human centred design for rehabilitation, habilitation & elderly.

· Pervasive/Ubiquitous computing & Mixed, augmented & virtual reality research

· Music and the creation of new interactive performance systems.
