Abstract: In this talk I will present a range of projects we have recently begun under the “Smart Hospital Living Lab” in Melbourne. The work is still ongoing, so I will take this opportunity to received feedback from the audience regarding the direction of our work and our future plans. In this presentation I will describe how we have approached our collaboration with hospitals in Melbourne, and will discuss how we use our expertise in Ubiquitous Computing and user-centered design to solve problems that the hospitals have. The presentation will give a summary of how a living lab approach to research works, and how it can be used to identify problems and solutions by involving multiple stakeholders in the process. The ongoing projects I will present include patient & staff tracking, the smart pillbox, the IV detection project, and handwashing detection.

Bio: Prof. Vassilis Kostakos is Professor of Human Computer Interaction in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne. He was previously a Professor at the University of Oulu (Finland). He earned his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Bath, UK. He is a computer scientist who works in the fields of human-computer interaction and the Internet of Things. His research focuses on how to model user behaviour based on sensor data, and how to develop technologies that better understand and better respond to humans. His work combines user-centered design, machine learning, and mobile & smartphone-based technologies. He has previously led projects on pedestrian mobility on city-scale, smartphone software for sensing users’ lifestyles, and large-scale analysis of social media. His main expertise is in smartphone sensing, context-aware computing, and behaviour modelling. His homepage is at https://people.eng.unimelb.edu.au/vkostakos/
