Seminar: Earables in Automated Dietary Monitoring and Digital Health
Background:
Novel wireless in-ear headphones can do more than playing music. They come with various types of sensors, e.g. microphones, or inertial measurement unit (IMU). In past research, earables have been used to monitor dietary activity in free living using microphones, which capture e.g. chewing sounds. The goal of this seminar is to get familiar with the possibilities of earables in automated dietary monitoring (ADM) and digital health, and to develop a machine learning algorithm for e.g. chewing event detection, and to deploy it to an existing app using e.g. Tensorflow Lite.
Aim:
Investigate usefulness of earables in ADM contexts; Develop algorithms for biomarker processing of sensor data; App development
Learning Objectives:
- Understand different sensor types and their digital health applications
- Develop algorithms for biomarker processing
- Deploy deep learning algorithms to apps
