ViTAL Lab Computational Behavior and Health Analytics

Computational BehaVior and HealTh AnaLytics (ViTAL) Lab strives to develop Patient-centered Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that are Scalable, Accessible, and Ethical to effectively improve the Healthcare system. Our mission is to develop Edge Computing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning systems using distributed ambient, mobile, and wearable devices to monitor patients’ conditions in hospitals or everyday life. We are also invested in deploying and testing the developed AI systems in real-world clinical and daily living environments, actively collaborating with stakeholders in healthcare.
