Algorithms for mobile applications

Program:

9.00 – 9.05h: Welcome

9.05 – 9.25h: Noud de Beijer, Philips Innovation Services

Algorithms for mobile applications: the opportunities and challenges of interacting with the outside world

Algorithms for mobile applications rarely work in isolation from their environment. On the contrary: they frequently interact with the sensors of the smartphone, exchange data with backend servers or connected electronics, and "connect" with the mobile user in providing useful information. Drawing on the experience of Philips Innovation Services in developing applications for smartphones, the presentation will illustrate the role of mobile app algorithms in this broader context, and will highlight some of the opportunities and challenges.

9.25 – 9.45h: Vlatko Milosevski, NXP Software

Speech Processing for Smart Devices

The speech describes the principle of Speech (Voice) processing for mobile devices, looks into the industry requirements, architectural choices and the emerging new use cases.

9.45 – 10.05h: Jacqueline Wijsman, Holst Centre

Detecting mental stress using wireless physiological sensors

Stress is a growing problem in society. Chronic mental stress can cause health problems like high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Timely stress detection can prevent these stress-related health problems. Vision of this project is to estimate stress level from physiological signals continuously to enable adequate feedback.

In my PhD project, I use wireless physiological sensors to detect mental stress. The sensors are integrated in a body area network. I will discuss the sensors, signals and data processing methods I use. The results so far and the future work will also be discussed. Furthermore, I will give an overview of possible applications of such a stress detection system.

10.05 – 10.30h: Coffee/Tea
