Abstract:

The current aging society has huge need of emerging healthcare engineering. Extensive research has been dedicated to the development of circuits and systems towards Internet of Things for healthcare engineering, which leads to the need of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). The smart sensors with lab-on-a-chip integration for health data collection and data analytics, as well as proactive health management, are all paving the way for the landing of this new IoMT strategy. This special issue is dedicated to the state-of-the-art IoMT related topics and emphasizes the bioelectronics and bioinformation-related topics for healthcare engineering.

This tutorial will discuss these critical issues in IoMT system design with three real examples from biosensor to bio-system level. Talks will focus on the scope of below with details discussed in each individual page later on.

• Biochemical, Immune sensor and system design (Prof. Jinhong Guo),
• Opto-genetic sensor and system design (Prof. Benoit Gosselin),
• DNA sensor and system design (Prof. Hao Yu)

• Benoit Gosselin

  Benoit Gosselin (S’02–M’08) obtained the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Eng. from École Polytechnique de Montréal in 2009, and he was an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2010. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Depart. of ECE at Université Laval, where he is leading the Biomedical Microsystems Lab. His research interests include wireless microsystems for brain computer interfaces, analog/mixed-mode and RF integrated circuits for neural engineering, interface circuits of implantable sensors/actuators and point-of-care diagnostic microsystems for personalized healthcare.

  Dr Gosselin is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems and he is Chair and Founder of the IEEE CAS/EMB Quebec Chapter (2015 Best New Chapter Award). He served on the committees of several int’l conferences such as IEEE BIOCAS, IEEE NEWCAS, IEEE EMBC, IEEE LSC and IEEE ISCAS. His significant contribution to biomedical microsystems research led to the commercialization of the first wireless microelectronic platform for optogenetics and electrophysiology with live animals by Doric Lenses Inc. He has received several awards, including the Mitacs Award for Outstanding Innovation and the NSERC Brockhouse Canada Prize for Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Engineering.
