Taking The Pressure Off From Hemodynamic Monitoring
A joint ECE and BME seminar
Presenter: Benjamin Sanchez Terrones, University of Utah
Abstract: Wearable technologies have grown exponentially and are revolutionizing the landscape of healthcare. These technologies offer the opportunity to reduce health disparities and optimize patient outcomes through earlier diagnosis, more accurate predictions, and more personalized treatment. Terrones will present his research group's ongoing work to generate new wearables to fight cardiovascular diseases, and address the unmet clinical challenge of comfortable, cuffless blood pressure monitoring. He will focus on the development of a wrist-worn smartwatch device, biological and anatomical factors that influence blood electrical behavior, and a physics-inspired machine learning approach for quantitative hemodynamic measurement.
Speaker bio: Sanchez is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Utah, and member of the Huntsman Cancer Institute. He obtained his BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain). He performed his postdoctoral work in the Department of Neurology at Harvard Medical School developing novel technologies to evaluate neuromuscular disorders. As an NIH and NSF funded researcher, his lab’s broad research interests primarily focus on developing point of care, mobile health, and wearable technologies to better diagnose, treat, and monitor patients in a variety of conditions expanding from neurology, pediatrics, oncology, and cardiology.
