Making Smart Wearable Devices Smarter

Listen Later

Making wearable smart devices smarter, is one of the heavily invested research in the tech industry today.

Our guest Henry Crandall, a National Science Foundation graduate research fellow and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Utah talks about his electrical research applied to human health monitoring and diagnosis. He will also briefly talk about his involvement in the IEEE, BioHive Utah, and his exciting role as a student board member in the IPC.

Show Highlights:

  • Introduction to Henry Crandall, his research, and involvement with IPC
  • Henry’s research focuses on the intersection of electrostatic and biology. How electrical applications can help diagnose disease and monitor health care condition
  • How Henry’s research relates to Elon Musk’s “Neuralink”
  • What is Neural Engineering?
  • Bioimpedance and non-invasive sensor products are already available through wearable health devices just like the smartwatches
  • Henry explains briefly the difference between surface measurement and penetration depth
  • Photoplethysmography is what you called the green lights on the back of your smartwatches, it uses light to monitor the cardiovascular system
  • Henry’s current research in a nutshell: a Bioimpedance sensor to monitor blood pressure
  • One of Henry’s goals in his research is to collect as much data and come up with an algorithm that will help smart devices to become even smarter
  • Major tech companies are investing heavily in research that could help make wearable smart devices gather actual clinically relevant data
  • Henry talks about his involvement in the IPC as a student member of the IPC Board of Directors
  • Both Zach and Henry share their experience with the IEEE
  • As a student member of the IPC board of directors, Henry gets involved in decision-making regarding governance, the strategy, and the financial sides of the organization
