The event will be held on Monday\u00a019th of December at 4:15 pm<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0SCES03<\/strong>auditorium (Sciences building, Sciences square). Drinks and appetizers will be served afterwards.\u00a0Registration<\/strong>\u00a0is free but mandatory, please\u00a0sign up<\/strong>\u00a0at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n Abstract<\/strong>: There has been a crucial turning point within healthcare to include wearable technologies in the strive for more specialized treatments and \u2018beyond the pill\u2019 solutions.\u00a0The motive is a straightforward and currently unmet need: having continuous and accurate patient feedback for medically relevant and informative disease-specific\u00a0readouts that can tremendously increase the medical value of a treatment. This seminar will discuss the technical challenges to build wearable devices that fulfil the\u00a0needs of patients and that can provide true clinical benefit.<\/p>\n Biography<\/strong>:\u00a0Hans De Clercq\u00a0received his PhD on medical wearable systems from the MICAS research group at ESAT KU Leuven in July 2015. During his IWT funded PhD, he\u00a0accumulated valuable experiences by participating in several clinical studies involving neonatology, cardiovascular diseases and implantable devices. Hans\u00a0collaborated with several specialists in the medical field and with signal processing research groups. His work was awarded by a KVIV engineering price (2010), the\u00a0EMEA Engibous price for innovation in analog design (2012) and the Texas instruments analog design award (2013). In April 2015, Hans De Clercq joined forces with\u00a0Hans Danneels and turned the experiences from his PhD into wearable health start-up Byteflies. As co-founder and CTO, Hans De Clercq focuses on the\u00a0development of the data platform and the Byteflies wearables toolkit, together with his team of engineers and medical experts in the Byteflies headquarters in\u00a0Berchem, Antwerp (Belgium).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UCL\/ICTEAM IEEE Student Branch along with prof.
