Computer Vision News 40 CVPR Workshop Babak: The areas of work where ambient technology can be used are very diverse. It can be in the home, but it can also be in hospital settings or other clinical settings. For example, long-term care homes or retirement homes, where individuals living are typically a lot older or may have comorbidities. Also, one of the papers accepted to the workshop is ambient sensing in the operating room, looking at how the surgery is going or which areas doctors and clinicians in the operating room are paying attention to. There are a couple about gait analysis using ambient sensors to monitor gait, and that could be for gait assessment, fall risk assessments, and things like that. The areas in which ambient assessment can be used are pretty diverse. There are so many workshops at MICCAI, what would be a great reason to join yours? Ehsan: I’ve been involved in the MICCAI community for several years as an organiser, area chair, and also organiser of several workshops. Most of the technologies and methods presented in MICCAI are around medical imaging and some interventions using other sensor modalities, videos, and so on, from mostly radiology perspective, or the CAI component also looks at operating rooms and so on. This workshop is planning to look at the medical and healthcare applications from a different perspective using more recently developed types of sensors and sensing technologies that could be used for other applications, but in this workshop, we are exploring their application in the healthcare space. “I think healthcare is the new funder. I think the next multibillion-dollar company is probably going to be in the healthcare space!”
