Title | "Machine Intelligence for eHealth: Hearables for 24/7 Doctorless Hospitals? " <Abstract> Commercial wellbeing and gaming applications, together with future health systems, require the means to assess the neural and physiological function of a user from readily available data. Ideally, this should be achieved in a 24/7 fashion, in the community, and in a self-administered, discreet, and unobtrusive fashion. The Hearables paradigm, that is, in-ear sensing of neural function and vital signs is such an emerging solution. The talk introduces our own Hearables device, which is based on an earplug with the embedded electrodes, optical, acoustic, mechanical and temperature sensors. We show how such a miniaturised embedded system can be used to reliably measure the Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse, respiration, temperature, blood oxygen levels, and behavioural cues. Unlike standard wearables, such an inconspicuous Hearables earpiece benefits from the relatively stable position of the ear canal with respect to vital organs to operate robustly during daily activities. However, this comes at a cost of weaker signal levels and exposure to noise. This opens novel avenues of research in Machine Intelligence for eHealth, with a number of challenges and opportunities for algorithmic solutions. We further demonstrate how 1 combining data from multiple sensors within such an integrated wearable device improves both the accuracy of measurements and the ability to make sense from artefacts in real-world scenarios. The ability to stream neural and physiological data in real time also makes Hearables a viable solution for the integration with smart environments and in future eHealth. The material is supported by a Hearables-specific “end-to-end” approach which revolves around fully interpretable domain knowledge, starting from the Biophysics of the generation and propagation of physiological signals on human body, through to the sensor-skin-hardware interface, and high-level decision making with a user in the loop. |
