DESCRIPTION:Do you know that someone has a heart attack by the
  time you finish reading this abstract? Indeed\, e
 very 40 seconds\, a heart attack occurs\, and a he
 art attack fatality occurs about every minute. For
  long\, medical science has established that frequ
 ent monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure is
  the key to mitigating significant risks for strok
 e\, heart failure and coronary artery disease. Cur
 rent gold-standard vital sign monitoring devices a
 re invasive\, cause discomfort and interfere with 
 users' activities. We challenge this status quo an
 d ask - can your next earable be the secret weapon
  to manage your cardiovascular health? We aren't t
 alking PopSci here\, but the remarkable capabiliti
 es of a sensory earable - ushering a new pathway t
 o a healthy heart. However\, ensuring the accuracy
  and robustness of in-ear vital sign measurements 
 is the most complex challenge in this vision.  Thi
 s lecturer will reflect on the algorithms and thei
 r systematic characterisations to address this cha
 llenge in continuously measuring the five most cri
 tical vital signs in our ear - Heart Rate (and Hea
 rt Rate Variability)\, SPO2\, Respiration Rate\, T
 emperature and Blood Pressure.\n\nBiography: Fahim
  Kawsar leads Pervasive Systems research at Nokia 
 Bell Labs\, Cambridge and holds a Mobile Systems P
 rofessorship in Computing Science at the Universit
 y of Glasgow. He studies forms and intelligence of
  multi-sensory devices to learn\, infer and augmen
 t human behaviour. Fahim is a Nokia Bell Labs Fell
 ow.
