Using technology to monitor behaviour in healthcare settings
The Connected Health Innovation Centre is pleased to announce that its next seminar will take place on 21st April 2016. Focusing on the theme of ‘Using technology to monitor behaviour in healthcare settings’, this seminar will be an opportunity to hear from Dr Caroline Jay (The University of Manchester) and Dr Simon Harper (The University of Manchester). Caroline is a Lecturer in Empirically Sound Software Engineering and Simon is an experimental Computer Scientist working in Human Computer Interaction and Information Systems.
Context: Technology enables us to understand aspects of human behaviour and cognition in greater detail than ever before. It allows continual monitoring in real life settings, which can help to elucidate individual differences, and understand changes over time. We will discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by using technology to understand behaviour in healthcare settings, using case studies of monitoring symptoms in people with Parkinson’s disease with smartphones, and improving our understanding of ECG interpretation using eye tracking.
If you would like to join us on 21st April, please register your place via this link.
Light refreshments will be provided.
