CS Colloquium: Corey Baker (USC / ECE) - Patient Centered Systems for Remote Patient Monitoring
Wed, Jan 22, 2025 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Corey Baker, USC / ECE
Talk Title: Patient Centered Systems for Remote Patient Monitoring
Abstract: Reliance on Internet connectivity is detrimental where modern networking technology is lacking, power outages are frequent, or network connectivity is expensive, sparse, or non-existent (i.e., underserved urban communities, rural areas, natural disasters). Though there has been much research conducted around 5G and 6G serving as the conduit for connecting any and everything; scalability issues are a major concern and real-world deployments have been limited. Realization of the limitations resulting from reliance on Internet and cellular connectivity are prevalent in mHealth applications where remote patient monitoring has improved the timeliness of clinical decision making, decreased the length of hospital stays, and reduced mortality rates everywhere in the nation except in medically underserved and rural communities in the US like Appalachian Kentucky, where chronic disease is approximately 20% more prevalent than other areas. As an alternative, deploying resilient networking technology can facilitate the flow of information in resource-deprived environments to disseminate non-emergency, but life saving data. In addition, leveraging opportunistic communication can supplement cellular networks to assist with keeping communication channels open during high-use and extreme situations. This talk will discuss the pragmatic applications of designing opportunistic systems for particular entities (patients, citizens, etc.); specifically applied to healthcare and increasing patient adherence, permitting any community to become smart and connected while simultaneously keeping network connectivity costs to a minimum.

Biography: Corey E. Baker holds the position of Assistant Professor in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC). Prior to joining USC, Baker served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Kentucky (UK) as well as an Application and Framework Engineer in Health and Research Products at Apple Inc where he worked on medical and research frameworks such as CareKit and ResearchKit. In his current role, Baker directs the Network Reconnaissance (NetRecon) Lab, where his research focuses on developing full-stack systems for distributing, protecting, and authenticating data in opportunistic networking scenarios. These scenarios encompass rural remote patient monitoring, smart cities, and natural disasters, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the well-being of individuals. Baker’s research also involves evaluating the practical applications of opportunistic delay-tolerant networks (DTNs), software-defined networks (SDNs), and human-centered design in empowering device-to-device (D2D) social networks for crowd-sourcing information. By leveraging opportunistic communication, Baker seeks to provide complementary solutions to traditional networks, which often rely on centralized infrastructures such as the Internet.
