Daniel Tze Huei Lai's Homepage

B. Eng in Electrical and Computer Systems (2001) and Ph.D (2002-2006) [Monash University, Australia]. Currently working as a research fellow in the Centre for Aging, Rehabitilation, Exercise and Sports (CARES), Victoria University and affliated with the Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP) research network. My research interests cover intelligent model design, signal processing and sensor developments for healthcare problems.

Research Area of Interest

Proactive Monitoring for Healthcare Applications

An emerging paradigm in telemedicine is the use of sensor networks to monitor health. These networks can be categorized as Body Area Networks (networks residing on the body), Personal Area Networks (networks formed by sensors in the vincinity) or traditional infrastructure monitoring networks (video monitoring and surveillence in residential homes) We term a collection of these networks in simultaneous operation for the purpose of monitoring the well-being of a user as healthcare sensor networks. Our current interest in this area is in the investigation and engineering design of practical healthcare sensor networks which incorporate human motion sensing, human movement models and actuator feedback. These networks will provide alternative monitoring strategies/solutions to a global healthcare system that is currently (2009) suffering severe shortages in medical personnel and expertise.
