Session 17 overview: Technologies for health and society: Technology directions subcommittee

Advances in sensors, low-power circuits, and integration technologies are helping to revolutionize industries ranging from agriculture to healthcare. This session highlights innovations in connected sensors for improved food production, diagnostic imaging, physiochemical sensing, and neurophysiology. The first paper is an invited paper, and describes how advances in sensors, circuits, and algorithms can help improve the efficiency of food production. The second paper demonstrates a multi-camera capsule endoscope with integrated high-throughput communications. The next three papers describe sensing systems that are powered from and/or measure chemical parameters in gas for industrial applications, or in bodily fluids for healthcare applications. Subsequent papers demonstrate advances in transcranial communications, optoelectronic neural recorders, multi-modal wearable brain imagers, and closed-loop neural implants with integrated support vector machine classifiers.
