SUMMARY:Healthcare\, Wellness and Wearables: Enabling Personalized Care
DESCRIPTION:Over the recent years we have seen a dramatic increase in the development and use of wearable devices of various kinds. This trend is expected to continue\, and many forecasts show a significant increase in the use of wearable technologies for healthcare and wellness applications. In this presentation\, we will look at the motivating factors behind these trends and look at some examples of wearable devices that provides vital sign and biomarker monitoring\, and for general health and wellness monitoring which will be at the center of delivering personalized care.\nSpeaker(s): Bharath Rajagopalan\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/534687

SUMMARY:Trillions Spent\, Still Failing: Why IT Needs Human-Centered Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Despite decades of methodological advances and trillions of dollars in global investment\, IT system developments\, operations and modernizations continue to fail at remarkably consistent rates. This talk argues that these failures are not primarily technical\, but systemic\, arising from a persistent neglect of human-centered engineering. Risk increases as software systems grow in complexity. Humans lose insight into their operation\, their ability to control them decreases\, as does the time to react relative to system behavior. Automation\, while reducing routine workload\, often exacerbates this problem by magnifying rare\, but high-consequence failures. AI will exacerbate the inherent automation paradox problem in novel ways. The presentation calls for an honest\, professional reassessment of how we design\, evaluate\, and govern IT systems—treating human cognitive limits as priority engineering constraints rather than afterthoughts.\nSpeaker(s): Robert N.
