Published a paper on mobile computer vision systems for quantifying gait impairment in Plos Digital Health and received a pilot award from Shriners Hospital for Children’s to develop an AI system for children’s health living in low-resourced communities.
Research Experience
Research experiences include giving a talk at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) about “Patient-centered Artificial Intelligence for Behavioral Health with Edge Computing”. Additionally, collaborated with Shriners Hospital for Children on developing a smartphone-based AI system for accessible and scalable gait screening for children with Cerebral Palsy.
Background
The ViTAL Lab aims to develop Patient-centered Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that are Scalable, Accessible, and Ethical to effectively improve the Healthcare system. Our mission is to develop Edge Computing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning systems using distributed ambient, mobile, and wearable devices to monitor patients’ conditions in hospitals or everyday life. We are also invested in deploying and testing the developed AI systems in real-world clinical and daily living environments, actively collaborating with stakeholders in healthcare.
