    AI for Passive In-Home Patient Monitoring: From Wearables to Invisibles

    This talk introduces Emerald, a novel MIT technology for in-home non-intrusive patient monitoring. The Emerald device is a WiFi-like box that runs customized machine learning algorithms to learn digital biomarkers from the wireless signals in the patient's home. It can remotely monitor the patient’s gait speed, falls, respiratory signal, heart rate, and sleep quality and stages. The sensing is completely passive – i.e., the patient can go about her normal life without having to wear any sensors on her body, write a diary, or actively measure herself. This talk will discuss the technology and the results from pilot studies in various therapeutic areas.
