Wearable and Wireless Systems for Healthcare I (eBook)

Dr. Robert LeMoyne is currently serving as an  Adjunct Professor of Biology, Department of Biological Sciences and Center for Bioengineering Innovation for Northern Arizona University. At Northern Arizona University he is researching advanced technology for wearable and wireless systems for biomedical applications. He earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) during 2010. From 2010 to 2012 he served Sandia National Laboratories, and since 2013 he has been serving Northern Arizona University. From a biomedical engineering perspective his research interests emphasize prosthetic technologies, machine learning applications, and wearable and wireless systems for biomedical applications, such as through smartphones and portable media devices, for accessing health status.Timothy Mastroianni is a Cognitive Scientist, Researcher, Entrepreneur. He is first to develop and use computer vision and pattern recognition in a non-invasive manner to discover the internal states of the random number generator in machines (HiLoClient). Later, he presented these algorithms and methods to Carnegie Mellon University to map the human brain using machine learning and fMRI to discover brain states during specific tasks.
