About The Workshop
Intelligent monitoring systems and affective computing applications have emerged in recent years to enhance healthcare. Examples of these applications include intelligent monitoring of physiological changes and sedation states as well as assessment of affective states such as pain and depression. Though the intelligent monitoring of affective states has been around for the past several years, integrating contextual, personalized, uncertainty, and multimodal information recorded from vulnerable populations has been less explored. This information paired with transparency and explainability can lead to the development of reliable applications for automated monitoring, detection, and prediction of affective states and health conditions in vulnerable populations. Such applications can deliver tailored and prompt interventions. CAIHA workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas on novel applications, new datasets, current challenges, and future directions. It welcomes submissions on artificial and affective intelligence methods applied to healthcare applications of vulnerable populations.
Keynote Speakers
Rosalind Picard
Rosalind Picard is founder and director of the Affective Computing research group at the MIT Media Lab and faculty chair of MIT's MindHandHeart Initiative. She co-founded Affectiva, providing emotion AI technologies, and Empatica, providing wearable sensors and analytics to improve health. Picard is an active inventor with patents including algorithms, and systems for sensing, recognizing, and responding respectfully to human affective information. Her inventions have applications in autism, epilepsy, depression, sleep, stress, dementia, autonomic nervous system disorders, human and machine learning, health behavior change, and human-computer interaction. She has authored or co-authored > 300 scientific articles and chapters spanning computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, human-computer interaction, wearable sensors, neurology, and affective computing. Picard has been honored with dozens of distinguished and named lectureships and other international and prestigious awards. CNN named her one of seven "Tech Superheroes to Watch in 2015."
