Abstract

In most developed and developing countries, demographic structure is rapidly changing, due to extension of the average life expectancy and birthrate decline. On the other hand, the distress of medical insurance, shortage of healthcare related facilities and workers have drawn much attention of societies, and these medical welfare issues have been gradually turning into social problems for the countries. Recently, instead of conventional medical and welfare services that depend on inpatient and/or ambulant treatment, there is an growing expectation for the next-generation human assistive and rehabilitation systems, which mainly focuses on biomedical monitoring, health information management, and home-based or remote assistive technology and function recovery, aiming to improve the quality of life (QOL) and protect the dignity of elderly people and disabled persons. In this talk, our research efforts toward developing human assistive and rehabilitation systems through interdisciplinary collaboration between medical professionals and engineers will be introduced with the latest results.

Biography

Prof. Wenwei Yu was born in 1967 and currently serves as the dean of the department of medical system engineering, school of engineering, Chiba University, Japan. He received his PhD from system information engineering, Hokkaido University, Japan in 1997, and served as an assistant professor in system information engineering department, school of engineering, Hokkaido University from 1999 to 2003. He received his MD from rehabilitation medical science, Hokkaido University, Japan in 2003. He was an exchange research fellow in Center for Neuroscience, University of Alberta, Canada, in 2003, supported by the Researcher Exchange Program, Japanese Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS). From July-October 2006, he was in the AI Lab, Zurich University, Switzerland, as a visiting professor, supported by Japanese Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS). He has published more than 130 papers in refereed international journals, international conference proceedings, and refereed books over the last years. He is the reviewer for more than 10 international journals. He co-chaired the neural prosthetics and rehabilitation track, neural rehabilitation robotics track, Neuro-rehabliation prosthesis track of several Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. His major interests are in neuro-prosthetics, rehabilitation robotics, motor control and biomedical signal processing. He is a member of IEEE and RSJ (Robot Society of Japan), JSMBE (Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering).
