from the newborn infant to the infirm elderly. In particular, healthcare reform will likely accelerate growth in this area for cost-effective cares. Wearable tech has already been used in many cost effective cares stems from allowing people to take control
of their own health to allowing doctors to give better care without spending more time with patients. The speaker will overview some of the achievements and relevant researches in the area of wearable tech at the Baylor College of Medicine, Interdisciplinary
Consortium on Advanced Motion Performance (iCAMP).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Bio: </span></b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black"></span><b><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">Prof. Najafi</span></b><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black"> is currently serving with the Baylor College of Medicine, Department of Surgery as a tenured Professor, Director of Clinical Research in
