New technologies, including innovations in AI, robotics, additive manufacturing, blockchain, digitalization, and quantum computing, are constantly changing business structures and platforms. On a products and marketing front, there is a need for greater experimentation using these technologies to better engage customers. Meanwhile from the management and HR perspective, the very same new technologies might create labor concerns and challenge the future of work. Join the MIT Industrial Liaison Program for the Innovations in Management Webinars to hear from MIT faculty, industry, and MIT-connected startups about their commitment to shaping management in a digital era.
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.
