Medical wearables: remote monitoring and automated interventions

Prof. Dr. Walter Karlen (Ulm University)

Abstract:
Realizing the full potential of mobile health requires moving beyond simple data logging toward intelligent, closed-loop systems. This presentation explores the engineering of medical wearables designed for remote monitoring and automated interventions. Drawing on advanced methodologies from biomedical engineering, robotics, and machine learning, we have developed sensor-rich wearable platforms capable of executing complex tasks without direct oversight. A core focus of this research is the "human-in-the-loop" challenge: designing robust algorithms that allow inexperienced users to capture clinical-grade data and provide targeted feedback. I will present a case study demonstrating how these automated systems can decentralize complex procedures, delivering reliable healthcare solutions across diverse health-care settings.
