Edge Machine Learning for Mobile Health Technologies
Amir AMINIFAR, Assistant Professor
Lund University
Machine learning will be an essential component of the next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) systems, including mobile health and wearable technologies. The adoption of machine learning in such systems creates several new opportunities, e.g., real-time and early detection of health abnormalities. However, enabling machine learning in mobile health and wearable technologies also involves several challenges. In particular, such systems are extremely limited in terms of resources (processing power, communication bandwidth, memory storage, and battery lifetime) due to the requirements w.r.t. portability, wearability, and social stigma. In this talk, we discuss the main challenges facing the TinyML community and introduce a new generation of edge machine-learning techniques for such resource-constrained mobile health and wearable technologies.
Amir AMINIFAR, Assistant Professor
Lund University
Amir Aminifar is currently a WASP Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Information Technology at Lund University, Sweden. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Swedish National Computer Science Graduate School, Linköping University, Sweden, in 2016. During 2016-2020, he held a Scientist position in the Institute of Electrical Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Switzerland. Amir Aminifar has been involved in several national/international projects, including the Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) of the European Human Brain Project (HBP), the ML-edge Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project, the e-Glass Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) project, and the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). He has a history of successful collaboration with industrial companies and medical partners, including General Motors, Texas Instruments, SmartCardia, and the Lausanne University Hospital. His research interests are centered around tiny/edge machine learning on Internet of Things (IoT), mobile health (m-Health), and wearable technologies.
