Upcoming Computer Science Research Seminar: “The Smart Hospital Living Lab”
On Thursday, March 25 at 4:30 pm EDT join the Department of Computer Science at BU MET for its fourth research seminar with Dr. Vassilis Kostakos, professor of human computer interaction, University of Melbourne. Entitled “The Smart Hospital Living Lab,” this virtual seminar will be moderated by Associate Professor Reza Rawassizadeh.
The abstract for “The Smart Hospital Living Lab” is as follows:
In this talk I will present a range of projects we have recently begun under the “Smart Hospital Living Lab” in Melbourne. The work is still ongoing, so I will take this opportunity to received feedback from the audience regarding the direction of our work and our future plans. In this presentation I will describe how we have approached our collaboration with hospitals in Melbourne, and will discuss how we use our expertise in Ubiquitous Computing and user-centered design to solve problems that the hospitals have. The presentation will give a summary of how a living lab approach to research works, and how it can be used to identify problems and solutions by involving multiple stakeholders in the process. The ongoing projects I will present include patient & staff tracking, the smart pillbox, the IV detection project, and handwashing detection.
