The Mobile Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (mAI-Lab) stands at the forefront of research intersecting artificial intelligence with mobile & wearable computing. The lab's primary mission is to harness the capabilities of smartphones, wearables, and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) to enhance the quality of life. The lab’s innovations span three pivotal domains:
- Health informatics through smartphone and wearable sensing, offering insights into conditions like COPD and asthma.
- User authentication using physiological and behavioral biometrics from IoT wearables, ensuring data privacy.
- Pinpointing places of interest (POI) via alternative sensor data, especially when conventional location data is compromised.
A significant portion of the lab's research involves analyzing vast human study datasets, obtained via the mobile crowdsensing approach. Their contributions have been recognized in prestigious platforms, including Forbes. Over the past decade, mAI-Lab has collaborated with leading academic and industrial research institutions in the US and Europe, exploring extensive health datasets from smart devices. The overarching objective of the lab is to transform healthcare, paving the way for innovative mobile tools that enable individuals to actively manage their health and well-being.
