Interviewed at the MOBIHEALTH 2014, the 4th International Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication and Healthcare - "Transforming healthcare through innovations in mobile and wireless technologies", that took place in Athens, Greece, November 3–5, 2014
The field of non-invasive Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) is gaining massive momentum as startups, companies and researchers are pushing hard. The race on BCI research is on improvement of the efficiency and the accuracy of the systems, while some of the first commercial efforts are testing . . .
Current healthcare practices and technologies are limited what it comes to offering a treatment that is personalized and optimized for the individual patient. The reasons are not only due to current technology limitations of legacy systems but also due to operational practices and economics. . . .
Dr. Akram Alomainy explains what cognitive radio is, how it senses and learns from environment and why it’s important for the most effective results. He talks about ink-jet printed antennas, antenna flexibility and how they can be part of textiles. His research focuses on creating very . . .
Dr. Kunal Mankodiya explains his focus on creating “a wearable platform” to collect contextual data (rather than continuously record information) in real time, combining wearable sensors and smart devices. He talks about creating intelligent algorithms to process and store only relevant . . .
Dr. Sayrafian talks about the next big thing in our lives, wearable and implantable sensors, used mainly in mobile health. He explains how we can power them with energy from microharvesters that exploit the natural movement of our body, producing energy proportional to their size, and reveals . . .
Data is changing healthcare. Health information systems deal with the entire pipeline of health related data from data capture/acquisition, information extraction, Data analytics and interpretation, presentation and decision support. We had the opportunity to talk with a distinguished guest . . .
Mrs. Salehi gives a thorough description of the smart training pants that DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) has designed and already produced as a working prototype. A most characteristic example of real “wearables”, these pants contain an array of sensors that . . .
Mr. Veinoglou talks about loyalty schemes and gamification – a hot issue in health, as it can be used in many sectors and in different ways; how he motivates organizations and enterprises in Greece, as well as abroad, to use the techniques. As every case has its own needs and requirements, . . .
In this interview we talk with Dr. Benny Lo, Lecturer at the Hamlyn Centre, Imperial College London, about the current research in the field of Body Sensor Networks. The focus is on using small sensors, often in the form of pervasive wearable devices, for continuous monitoring of patients. . . .
Dr. Kayyali explains the benefits of CANadvice, an Android mobile application tested in 2014 in UK and used by patients receiving oral chemotherapy at home, in order to alert their doctors about possible quite painful side-effects, while undergoing treatment. She also speaks about Welcome, a . . .

Antennas are at the very heart of our wirelessly connected world. Technology advances have completely miniaturized and concealed them to the point that people tend to forget that they exist! Antenna research is hotter than ever with applications like wearable and embroidered antennas which . . .
