Dr. Joseph Wang, the most cited scientist in Engineering in the world since 1991, will present an overview of wearable sensors—devices that can continuously and non-invasively collect vital health information from a person’s body and provide this information in a timely fashion. This virtual presentation will examine the current applications of these devices—how they are being used, how they are applied and what information they are able to provide for both the individual and their providers. For example, advanced wearable devices can be placed on the skin or in the mouth and have electrochemical biosensors designed to collect specific molecular information regarding metabolites, electrolytes and drugs. This biochemical information is currently being used to help manage such diseases as diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. The presentation also will include a discussion about wrist-watch mobility trackers that enable the wearer to track blood pressure, heart rate and other vital information. Join us for this intriguing discussion on the future application and challenges of wearable devices and mobility trackers and their impact on health monitoring and disease management. Dr. Joseph Wang Bio: Dr. Joseph Wang is a Distinguished Professor of NanoEngineering at University of California San Diego. Dr. Wang earned a D.Sc. from the Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa) in 1978. From 1978 to 1980 he served as a research associate at the University of Wisconsin (Madison), and between 1980 and 2004 he was a member of the Chemistry department at New Mexico State University where he held a Regents Professor and a Manasse Chair between 2001 and 2004. Between 2004 and 2008, he served as the Director of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors (Biodesign Institute) and a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at Arizona State University (ASU). He joined UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering in 2008, and served as the Chair of the Nanoengineering Department between 2014 to 2019. Wang has been the most cited Scientist in Engineering in the World since 1991 and first on the ISI Chemistry Citations list (1997-2007). He is the author of over 1200 papers, 10 books and 30 book chapters and has given more than 250 invited presentations at international meetings. Wang is the recipient of many international awards, including a 2007 National Science Foundation (NSF) Special Creativity Award, the 2006 American Chemical Society Award for Electrochemistry, the 1999 American Chemical Society Award for Analytical Instrumentation, and the 2019 Outstanding Sensor Award of the Electrochemical Society. Wang’s research interests focus on electrochemical biosensors, wearable devices and microrobots. Visit https://www.ljcommunitycenter.org/dss Visit La Jolla Community Center on Facebook
