Untreated hearing loss has been linked to increased risks of social isolation\, depression\, dementia\, fall injuries\, and ot her health issues. However\, partly due to the historical stigma associate d with assistive devices and functional limitations\, only a small fractio n of people who need help with hearing have actually adopted the devices.\ n\nIn this talk\, the speaker will present a new class of multifunctional hearing and health devices with embedded sensors and artificial intelligen ce. With an extremely energy-efficient embedded deep neural network accele rator\, these devices continuously classify sound with advanced machine le arning algorithms\, enhance speech and reduce noise\, serve as a continuou s monitor for physical and cognitive activities\, an automatic fall detect ion and alert system\, as well as a personal assistant with connectivity t o the cloud. Furthermore\, these devices stream audio from phones and othe r devices with two-day battery life\, translate languages\, transcribe spe ech\, and remind the wearer of medication and other tasks.\n\nRapid advanc es in sensors and artificial intelligence are bringing an array of new dev ices\, applications\, and user benefits to the world. We will discuss how these technologies are transforming the traditional hearing aids into smar t multipurpose devices\, helping people not only hear better but live bett er lives.\n\nAward Winners:\n\nIndustry Rising Star: Dwith Chenna\, AMD\n\ nBest Student Volunteer: Anbu Valluvan Devadasan\, SJSU\n\nSpeaker Appreci ation: Atul Kumar\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Achin Bhowmik\n\nAgenda: \n6:00 pm - 6:30 pm Networking over cheese pizza\n\n6:30 pm - 7:30 pm Dr. Achintya Bho wmik\, adjunct professor at the Stanford School of Medicine\n\n7:31 pm - 8 pm Award Presentation\n\n8 pm - 8:30 pm Photos and networking\n\nRoom: LC 1/LC2\, Bldg: 4\, AMD\, 2100 Logic Dr\, San Jose\, California\, United Sta tes\, 95124\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428816 LOCATION:Room: LC1/LC2\, Bldg: 4\, AMD\, 2100 Logic Dr\, San Jose\, Califor nia\, United States\, 95124\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/42 8816 ORGANIZER:pendyala@ieee.org SEQUENCE:74 SUMMARY:Distinguished talk by Dr. Achintya Bhowmik\, Adjunct Professor\, St anford School of Medicine on "Transforming Hearing Aids into Multifunction al Communication and Health Devices with AI" and Award Ceremony URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428816 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><ul>\n<li class="p1"><span style="font-family : arial\, helvetica\, sans-serif\;">$3 registration is mainly to prevent w astage of food because of casual registrations and no-shows.</span></li>\n <li class="p1"><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetica\, sans-serif\;" >Virtual attendees NEED NOT pay the $3 or register here.
