A sample of the completed programs under my guidance:

End-to-End Secure Wireless Health Systems

The successful completion of several of our programs resulted in the development of intelligent Wireless Health systems that: 1. Gather remote sensor data while optimizing system energy or the quantity of resources, 2. Preprocess this data at the wearable device, if necessary, 3. Enable secure transport of the data to a remote management and archival system, 4. Apply a set of novel machine learning techniques to classify and enable search through the sensor data, 5. Provide appropriate feedback to the patient/subject and caregiver/physician. We have successfully applied such an end-to-end system to monitoring patients in several areas: neurological rehabilitation, multiple sclerosis, young adults with intellectual disability, among others.

Wireless Health Systems for First Responder Safety

Large program directed to ensuring the safety of First Responders by providing proper fitness monitoring and in-mission monitoring of critical health status.  This includes development of architectures, hardware, software, network systems, signal processing, and state identification systems. Lead UCLA faculty, staff, and students in development. Coordinate with industry partners and the Department of Homeland Security sponsor.

Signal Search Engine

Leading a group of faculty, staff members, and students across the Schools of Engineering, Computer Science and Medicine to produce a system capable of:

• searching for a specific event or feature within a healthcare signal database,

• providing classification and state identification corresponding to the query,

• cross correlating the results from other users, their outcomes and diagnosis

• providing an ontology tying together signal domain with text-based medical terminology

The current results of SSE are effectively applied towards:

• Studying recovery and progress of the neurology rehabilitation patients

• Monitoring and understanding the sleep disorders

• Quantifying progress in clinical studies

• First Responder physiological monitoring

• Projects in Exercise Physiology (including osteoporosis monitoring and intervention)

Critical Power and Heart Rate modeling

Development of the models optimizing the potential of a human body to perform further work safely. These systems currently find applications in optimization of training (e.g. athletes or other people with a fitness goal) and safe assignment of tasks in-mission for First Responders and Soldiers.

Sensor Fusion and State Identification

Developing an automated system that determines the minimum set of sensors to diagnose a condition with requested accuracy
