New developments in sensor and imaging technology have the potential for profoundly changing the role and practice of preventive medicine and prognosis. The center provides me the perfect collaborative environment for exploring how we can utilze these technologies to improve in home care and quality of life. I am particularly excited about the potential for multi-modal sensing and fusion to aid prognosis.
