| Title: Towards Artificially Intelligent Devices for Healthcare and Rehabilitation | |
| Abstract: The world is witnessing a rapid increase of the elderly population. This has brought unprecedented challenge in delivering healthcare, specially to the population with neurological disorders. In case of the prevalent ones, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s Disease, along with regular medication, technological intervention is a unique way to assist them in their daily lives. While the world is falling short in providing manual support to these people, thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI) based innovative solutions, the management of such people with neurological disorder is now possible. The talk will shed lights on how persons with such incurable diseases can be assisted in their daily lives through AI-enabled devices. | |
