Speaker: Mark Melnykowycz | Company: IDUN Technologies | Date: 13-14 October 2021 | Full Presentation Brain computer interface (BCI) designs have traditionally focused on the use of electrodes located on the scalp of a person to measure their brain activity using Electroencephalography (EEG) brain imaging techniques. Scalp EEG traditionally utilized metal electrodes placed over the scalp with conductive gel between the electrode and the skin to improve electrical contact. Dry contact electrodes were then developed to make the process more user-friendly and to reduce the time to setup EEG systems before conducting experiments. This made EEG more accessible outside of research and medical laboratories and led to the release of BCI products onto the consumer market. Despite the recent advances in invasive BCI’s based on implants, dry electrode EEG offers a greater ability to develop EEG products for daily use. One of the most important product challenges to over-come is the design of BCI’s which fit into existing societal trends. Scalp-focused BCI designs are difficult to scale beyond niche user communities since they represent another device for users to integrate into their lives. Ear EEG offers a way to design BCI products that integrate into users’ lives similar to the way that earbuds have seen wide adoption across different cultures and markets throughout the world. IDUN Technologies has developed electrodes for biopotential measurements since 2017. The IDUN Guardian Devel...

Speaker: Lew Lim | Company: VieLight | Date: 13-14 October 2021 | Full Presentation The brain can be guided to perform better when it receives light of certain parameters in a process called Photobiomodulation (PBM). This is often done through light emitting or laser diodes. Today, this process is delivered through portable devices. Literature has shown PBM to be promising in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury and other neurological conditions, some of which are being tested with major clinical trials. Dr Lew Lim and his team at Vielight conducts cutting-edge research in brain PBM and are also involved in several of the major clinical trials. The team also seeks new ways for the technology to improve the cognition of normal people, sports performance as well as even achieve bliss states in meditation. In his presentation, Dr Lim will discuss foundational understanding of PBM. He will also show how one can improve one’s life by applying PBM in wearable devices for brain stimulation.

Speaker: Sheng Xu | Company: University of California San Diego | Date: 13-14 October 2021 | Full Presentation Soft wearable devices that can noninvasively and continuously acquire physiological signals from the human body represent an important trend for healthcare. Existing soft devices can monitor various signals from the human body, but those signals are limited to either the surface or very shallow (< 8 mm) below the skin. There are a lot more activities in deep tissues that have a stronger and faster correlation with the diseases and symptoms of the human body. In this presentation, I will demonstrate a wearable ultrasonic technology that allows noninvasively and continuously monitoring events 14 cm below the skin surface. Continuous blood pressure waveforms and blood flow spectra in central arteries and veins, and dynamic motions of heart chamber walls are exemplary use cases of the soft ultrasonic technology. This enabling platform effectively adds a new third-dimension to the detection range of existing wearable devices, and thus holds profound implications for a wide range of applications in consumer electronics, defense medicine, and clinical practices.

Speaker: Anya Gupta | Company: Sonde Health | Date: 13-14 October 2021 | Full Presentation Leveraging over 1 million voice samples from 80,000+ individuals, Sonde Health’s proprietary voice-based technology platform detects changes in user health - like mental fitness and respiratory disease - from changes in voice. Using advanced audio signal processing and machine learning, Sonde senses and analyzes subtle vocal changes due to changes in a person’s physiology to provide early health detection and monitoring. Sonde One, its health screening app, helps large organizations to execute a daily population screening regimen that helps reduce the spread of COVID-19, comply with government mandates, and return to work safely. Sonde has also leveraged its SurveyLex platform to enable rapid voice data collection for large clinical research organizations like UCB Pharma,​ Biogen, Massachusetts General Hospital​, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center​, Pear Therapeutics​ etc. and thereafter also enable voice-based health-detection models. Anya Gupta, Sonde's VP of Business Development, will describe the process Sonde has used since inception to develop their vocal biomarker platform.

and Key Application Areas Speaker: Teddy Seyed | Company: Microsoft | Date: 13-14 October 2021 | Full Presentation The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it." Mark Weiser's seminal work in Ubiquitous Computing captures a key goal of the smart textile space: to become a part of our everyday clothing (among other objects), thus transforming them into wearables. In this talk, I describe how we are pushing towards our vision for a Future of Wearables, how we are enabling it through the creation of smart fabrics and new sensing techniques that use machine learning, as well as application areas of interest.

Speaker: Sandro Ferrari | Company: WISE Srl | Date: 13-14 October 2021 | Full Presentation Soft conductive materials give significant advantages in neuro-electronic interfaces since they are able to comply and closely adhere to the soft neural tissues. Nevertheless not only is far from trivial to make soft conductive materials with appropriate performances, but it is a further challenge to interface them with hard electronic devices on one side and to achieve the required compliance to use in implantable medical devices on the other. Wise over the last decade managed to travel this route and to reach the market with its neuromonitoring devices based on the proprietary SCBI technology. The milestones of this journey and the opportunities opened by the technology will be presented.
