Healthcare and Quality of Life
The proliferation of advanced electronics and signal analysis methods has created new opportunities in healthcare. ECE faculty are innovating at the forefront of medical technologies with the goal of improving the quality of human life. Specific applications include: design of custom medical devices and wearable sensors to enable real-time monitoring of vital sensory information, medical imaging (including optimization methods for MRI), physiologic signal analysis, electromagnetic propagation within and about the body, on-body communication networking (“body area networks”), and smart prosthetics.
