39 Ambient Intelligence for HealthCare Computer Vision News specific disease; it’s more using the integration of ambient sensors with any sort of medical imaging, radiology, neuroscience, or neurology applications, and basically understand the disease and disease progression in daily living spaces or generally in daily environments. I’mnot sure if ambient intelligence is a very clean and clear term to the MICCAI community, but as we have it in our workshop page as well, ambient intelligence defines the terms and technologies for intelligent computing. The sensors and processors are embedded into everyday devices and everyday environments and will seamlessly adapt to the users’ requirements. This ambient intelligence technology is being used in retail spaces, education, office spaces, and so on, and it’s finding its applications also in healthcare for quality improvement, senior care at home, ensuring clinician and patient safety, rehabilitation, and so on. The goal of this workshop is to shed light on this novel technology and how it could be used for the healthcare space in their skill space. The ambient monitoring system includes (a) a Kinect v2 sensor installed in a hallway, (b) two RFID antennas mounted on the hallway walls, (c) RFID tags attached to participants’ clothing at knee level, (d) and a control box consisting of a laptop and an RFID reader.
