Biography

 

Professor Yuan-Ting Zhang is currently the Chairman and Director of Hong Kong Center for Cerebro-cardiovascular Health Engineering and the Chair Professor at City University of Hong Kong. He is a LRG member of Karolinska Institutet MWLC.  He was the Sensing System Architect in Health Technology and Sensing Hardware Divisions at Apple  Inc., California, USA,  the founding Director of the Key Lab for Health Informatics of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the founding Director of CAS-SIAT Institute of Biomedical and Health Engineering. Professor Zhang dedicated his service to the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 1994 to 2015, where he served as the first Head of the Division of Biomedical Engineering.

 

Prof. Zhang has been the Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering since 2016 and Chair of the IEEE 1708 Working Group.  He was the Editor-in-Chief for IEEE T-ITB and the first Editor-in-Chief of IEEE J-BHI. He served as Vice Preside of IEEE EMBS. He was also the Chair of 2016-2018 IEEE Award Committee in Biomedical Engineering and a member of IEEE Medal Panel for Healthcare Technology Award.

 

Prof. Zhang's research interests include unobtrusive sensing and wearable devices, and neural muscular modeling. He was selected on the lists of China’s Most Cited Researchers by Elsevier and the top 2% researcher worldwide by Stanford University. He won a number of international awards including IEEE-EMBS best journal paper awards,  IEEE-EMBS Outstanding Service Award, IEEE-SA 2014 Emerging Technology Award, and Earl Owen Lecture at SMIT-IBEC2018 in Korea. Prof. Zhang is elected as IAMBE Fellow, IEEE Fellow, AIMBE Fellow and AAIA Fellow for his contributions to the development of wearable and m-Health technologies.

Tonoarteriography: the Unobtrusive and Continuous Measurements of
Arterial Blood Pressure for the Control of CVDs and COVIDs

 

Abstract

This talk will first outline the most press global health challenges with some perspectives of health engineering. The presentation will then focus on wearable 'MINDS' methods for developing the tonoarteriography (TAG) - an emerging technology of the unobtrusive and continuous measurements of arterial blood pressure, together with its integration with nano-biomarker detection, medical imaging and machine learning for the controls of acute CVDs and COVIDs. Using the atherosclerotic plaque assessment as an example, this talk will also attempt to illustrate that the convergence approach should allow the practice of 8- P’s health that is predictive, preventive, precise, pervasive,  personalized, participatory, preemptive, and patient-centralized.
