REVOLUTIONIZING BIOMEDICAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSIGHT THROUGH Unobtrusive Sensing
REVOLUTIONIZING Biomedical and Industrial Insight
Topic: “Beyond Contact: Revolutionizing Biomedical and Industrial Insight through Unobtrusive Sensing”
In her IEEE Sensors Council Distinguished Lecture, Dr. Anwesha Khasnobish presented the transformative potential of unobtrusive sensing technologies for biomedical and industrial applications.
The session highlighted contactless sensing techniques for continuous physiological monitoring, enabling comfortable, real-time healthcare without direct physical contact.
She explained how advanced sensor technologies combined with artificial intelligence can extract meaningful insights from non-invasive measurements.
The lecture also demonstrated the role of unobtrusive sensing in industrial environments for condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced operational safety.
Dr. Khasnobish discussed recent research advances, practical challenges, and emerging opportunities in deploying these intelligent sensing systems.
The session provided participants with valuable insights into the future of smart, contactless sensing and its impact on next-generation healthcare and Industry 5.0.
The IEEE Sensors Council Distinguished Lecture commenced with a warm welcome by Mrs. S. V. Kulkarni . Dr. Kanchan Vaidya introduced the distinguished speaker, Dr. Anwesha Khasnobish, highlighting his outstanding academic achievements and significant research contributions. The vote of thanks was delivered by Dr. A. K. Chaudhari and Dr. S. D. Kale managed the publicity and social media activities for the session. Mr. Girish Khilari and Prof. Mandar Khurjekar coordinated the event, ensuring its smooth planning, execution, and overall success.
