Computational Well-being Monitoring Using Touchless and Wearable Physiological Sensing
Concept Under Development
This emerging project explores the development of privacy-preserving, touchless and wearable sensing technologies combined with artificial intelligence and computational physiology to enable continuous monitoring of health and well-being in daily life, particularly in remote and underserved environments.
Scientific Vision
We aim to create an integrated platform that acquires meaningful physiological and environmental information using touchless and wearable sensing, analyzes it using explainable AI and computational models, and delivers actionable insights to support early detection of physiological deterioration, personalized care and healthier communities.
Key Features (Planned)
- Touchless and wearable sensing for vital signs, respiration, sleep and activity
- Wearable sensors for continuous multi-parameter monitoring
- Environmental sensing: temperature, UV exposure, air quality, humidity and daylight
- Edge AI for real-time analysis with low power and intermittent connectivity
- Secure data management with privacy-by-design and community data governance
- Co-design with communities to ensure cultural relevance and trust
Potential Impact
This project could empower individuals and communities with tools to monitor well-being, support preventive care and reduce the burden of chronic disease. It has the potential to strengthen local capacity, improve access to healthcare and promote resilience in northern and remote communities. This project is in discussion, and the concept is under development. Scope, technologies and partnerships are still being defined.
