Talk title: Healthcare and Public Health Monitoring and Management

Abstract: Due to the advancement of computation power, sensor technologies, and data collection tools, the field of healthcare and public health monitoring and management have been evolved over the past several decades with different names under different application domains, such as statistical process control (SPC), process monitoring, health surveillance, prognostics and health management (PHM), personalized medicine, etc. There are tremendous opportunities in interdisciplinary research of system health monitoring and management through integration of SPC, system informatics, data analytics, PHM, and personalized health management. In this talk we will present our views and experience in the evolution of systems health monitoring and management, its challenges and opportunities, as well as its applications in healthcare surveillance and public health management.
