On May 24th, 2024 at 11.30 am a new appointment of NECSTFridayTalk series titled "Journey into Well-being: Current Research Studies in Personal Monitoring" will take place at DEIB NECSTLab Meeting Room (Building 20) and on line by Zoom.
During this talk, we will have, as speaker, Susanna Bardini, MSc in Biomedical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano on the following about the talk:
In today's world where technological advancements and societal pressures rule our daily lives, the significance of personal well-being has gained more relevance. Indeed, personal well-being encompasses various dimensions, including physical, emotional, social, and psychological aspects. Its understanding and monitoring have become paramount, not only among health and wellness enthusiasts, but also within the clinical ecosystem.
In this talk, we will delve into the landscape of our current research projects focused on personal well-being monitoring. Firstly, I will present the crucial relevance of sleep in our everyday life, and the usefulness of adopting devices for monitoring sleep and the environment in which we rest. In particular, I will illustrate OptoSens, a prototype of a sleep mask capable of monitoring sleep quality by means of an optical system for tracking eye movements, along with the possibility of early detection of sleep disorders by the additional analysis of EOG signals and head movements. Secondly, I will discuss the multifaceted endeavor of unlocking the potential of cognitive performance, encompassing various mental processes such as attention, memory, and problem-solving. Indeed, Laura is currently working on a project that through a holistic approach aims to craft the digital fingerprints of individuals, by integrating electro-physiological signals, dietary logs, sleep patterns, blood tests, and activity diaries. By analyzing these comprehensive datasets, the aim is to unravel the intricate connections between overall well-being and cognitive performance. Finally, I will briefly present ACUMEN, an entrepreneurial idea on which we are currently working at, which consists of a device capable of analyzing the human digital fingerprint across various domains. This technology aims to optimize mental performance by providing customized preparatory advice for cognitive tasks.
