Sommario
On July 2nd, 2024 at 3.00 pm the seminar "Soft Sensors and Electronics for Human-Machine Interfaces and Advanced Healthcare" will take place at DEIB BIO1 Room (Building 21) and on line by Webex.
In this talk, Dr. Yeo will share the basic scientific study of integrated soft sensors and electronics in both wearable and implantable configurations. He will talk about the limitations of the existing biomedical systems used in continuous health monitoring, persistent human-machine interfaces, and disease diagnosis. A set of new solutions that can tackle these issues will be shared with the details. Specifically, he will discuss unique strategies for designing and fabricating new systems using soft and hybrid materials.
In terms of recent outcomes, he will introduce a few projects that develop soft electronic sensors and platforms targeting persistent human-machine interfaces (human augmentation via wearable exoskeletons), sleep quality and disorder quantification and detection, and wearable auscultation for continuous heart and lung sound detection. In vitro and in vivo study examples will capture the novelty of these soft electronic systems and their major advantages over the existing systems in real-time continuous health monitoring, portable healthcare, quantitative disease diagnosis, and connected therapeutics with human-machine interfaces.

Dr. Yeo is an Associate Professor and Woodruff Faculty Fellow in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, and the Director of the IEN Center for Wearable Intelligent Systems and Healthcare (WISH) at Georgia Tech. His research focuses on the areas of nano-/microengineering, advanced soft materials, soft packaging, and bio-electromechanical systems, with an emphasis on stretchable hybrid electronics. Dr. Yeo received his PhD in mechanical engineering and genome sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle in 2011. From 2011-2013, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Beckman Institute and Frederick Seitz Materials Research Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Yeo has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles, including many in top-quality journals, including Nature Machine Intelligence, Nature Materials, Nature Communications, and Science Advances. Dr. Yeo is an IEEE Senior Member and a recipient of a number of awards, including the NIH R01 Award, NIH Trailblazer Young Investigator Award, IEEE Outstanding Atlanta Engineer Award, Imlay Innovation Award, Lucy G. Moses Lectureship Award - Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Sensors Young Investigator Award, American Heart Association Innovative Project Award, and Samsung Global Research Outreach Award. In addition, Dr. Yeo has founded two startup companies, including Huxley Medical and Wis Medical, to commercialize in-patient and out-patient health monitoring wearable devices.
