Overview

Project Brochure

Recent advances in mobile computing and networking have resulted in low cost pervasive sensing, ubiquitous communications networks and mobile platforms with more on-device computation than ever before. This allows large scale connectivity while leveraging cloud computation. Although, much of the sensing and mobile devices have become part of everyday life, their relevance and applicability towards developing interdisciplinary solutions for critical application domains like energy and healthcare, is yet untapped, due to several technical and contextual limitations. HumanSense project is applying the aforesaid advancements to address domains of energy and healthcare by empowering users with information that helps them in decision making and thus optimizing on the limited available resources. Relevant interdisciplinary solutions are being developed using a distributed cyber physical infrastructure to collect high resolution data about user activity and its associated context (e.g. environmental, social, economic, cultural and educational). Collected data, after suitable processing, establishment of data quality and understanding of the context in which the data is collected, will help in achieving optimal decisions both at the individual and the system level. A system comprising hardware platforms, mobile middleware, distributed server software and algorithms will be developed that can measure personalized energy impact and provide personalized recommendations towards energy conservation. Similarly, a scalable system to provide efficient, integrated and affordable healthcare services will be developed. This system comprising mobile based health kit, GIS integrated modular server side software, and related algorithms, will be test deployed in some hospitals.
