Researchers from Samsung Research America (SRA) acquired the ‘Best Industry Paper Award’ on the annual IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom) 2020. PerCom, a premier scholarly venue within the areas of pervasive computing and communications, is understood to just accept solely the prime quality cutting-edge analysis articles.
The paper is derived from the Digital Health Lab’s Lung Health mission, the place the workforce is creating modern applied sciences to assist sufferers with continual respiratory ailments reminiscent of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Asthma. The paper notably focuses on algorithms that enable customers to judge their lung operate on their very own with out medical supervision, just by recording respiration sounds on their smartphones.
“Winning the Best Paper Award at such a competitive venue as the IEEE PerCom testifies to the recognition of our research from leading experts in pervasive computing. I feel fortunate to work in a lung health project that has potential to have an impact on respiratory patients, to support the control over their illness and improve the quality of life,” stated Mahbubur Rahman, the primary writer of the paper who’s working as Research Engineer in Digital Health Lab.
Acknowledging the Best Paper Award, PerCom 2020 General Chair and the University of Texas at Austin Professor Christine Julien shared an encouraging notice emphasizing the potential influence of the Digital Health Lab’s work on real-world sufferers. She commented, “Having much more accessible tools for treating this [respiratory] disease would be so incredible. I love that there is this real-world impact of what you’re working on.”
The Digital Health Lab at SRA is partnering with world-leading physicians and superior well being analysis establishments to develop novel algorithms to make the well being monitoring instruments accessible anyplace, anytime via smartphones and smartwatches. The Digital Health Lab’s papers have additionally beforehand acquired the Best Poster Award on the IEEE Body Sensor Network (BSN) 2019 convention.
