This amount will reach $2.9 trillion dollars by 2011 (around 17% of the GDP). Information technology\, i.e.\, health care informatics\, plays a very important role in all aspects of the health care enterprise\, and is crucial to reducing the health care costs. We use the term “health care informatics” for all software aspects of the healthcare enterprise: health information technology\, modeling and simulation\, bioinformatics\, medical devices integration\, and bioimaging. In this talk\, I will discuss our work on health care informatics\, focusing on: 1) Testing the nationwide health information network; 2) Medical device interoperability; 3) Systems biology/medicine\, with a focus on protein-protein interaction; and 4) Medical/bioimaging.

At present\, health-monitoring systems using electronic textiles are mainly targeting applications based upon physiological parameter measurements\, such as body movements or electrocardiography (ECG). However\, due to their relative complexity\, there is very little activity in the development of real-time wearable chemo/bio sensors for sports applications. \n Nowadays\, wearable sensors such as heart rate monitors and pedometers are in common use. The use of wearable systems such as these for personalized exercise regimes for health and rehabilitation is particularly interesting. \n In particular\, the true potential of wearable chemical sensors\, which for the real-time ambulatory monitoring of bodily fluids such as tears\, sweat\, urine and blood has not been realized. Here we present a brief introduction into the fields of ionogels and organic electrochemical transistors\, and in particular\, the concept of an OECT transistor incorporated into a sticking-plaster\, along with a printable “ionogel” to provide a wearable biosensor platform.

COINS research combines sensing\, energy harvesting\, electronics\, mobility and wireless communication to enable mobile\, self-powered\, wirelessly communicating sensors. \n Willi Mickelson is currently the Executive Director of the Center of Integrated Nanomechanical Systems (COINS)\, a nanoscale science and engineering center headquartered at UC Berkeley dedicated to enabling and realizing novel environmental monitoring applications using nanotechnology. He received his BS from UC Davis in chemistry and physics and his MA and PhD degrees from UC Berkeley in experimental condensed matter physics. In addition to his academic research in nanoscience\, Dr. Mickelson has led nanotechnology research and development teams pursuing the commercialization of carbon nanotube-based sensors for industrial and medical applications \n This free public talk is presented as part of the monthly “Science@Cal Lecture Series”.

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n Systems and programs to support health and healthy living such as rehabilitation programs or assistive devices are often unexciting\, stigmatizing and expensive. This often leads to discontinuance. Some studies pointed out that one way to mediate discontinuance is by matching user’s expectations\, needs and preferences with the system or program design. \n Human-centered design is often considered a fundamental precept of high-quality product development. However\, there are unavoidably exciting challenges in performing human-centered design for and with people with special needs and those who need these system the most\, especially in ensuring that the systems do what they are supposed to do in playful and enjoyable ways. \n In this talk\, some success (and less successful) stories will be presented\, including a discussion and demonstration of a humming Tetris for people with combined motor and speech impairment (with future plan to use it as a Melodic Intonation Therapy tool)\, a creativity-building drawing application for children with ADHD and ASD\, and a game to help birth partners support mothers in labor. \n Bio: \n Sri Kurniawan is an Associate Professor of Computer Engineering at Baskin School of Engineering\, University of California Santa Cruz.

The unprecedented growth of the IT industry has largely been driven by the nonstop exponential increase in the performance of the CMOS-FET per unit area/dollar\, which is enabled by the ability to continue scaling down CMOS transistor sizes and increasing functionality. \n However\, industry’s ability to scale transistors has become limited recently due to increasing leakage power and inability to reduce switching energy. Unavoidably\, the fundamental limitations destine CMOS scaling to a conclusion at around 5-10 nm in 2020. \n As CMOS shrinks closer to the point where it can’t get any smaller\, an innovative new device and its architecture for the future logic switch becomes very urgent. \n The post-CMOS device should show significant advantages in power\, performance\, density\, and cost to enable the extension of the historical cost and performance trends for information technology. Amongst many promising options\, the graphene device based on the unique electron transport characteristics has attracted a lot of attention due to their superior electrical and mechanical properties. Logic device based on graphene will have to be built on a new concept\, one that takes advantage of the material’s unique properties in a revolutionary architecture. \n Moreover\, if this new switch can be simultaneously dynamically reconfigured to perform multifunction logic operations must be very attractive.

There is a second aspect of Moore’s Law that is sometimes overlooked. Because of miniaturization\, the energy efficiency of information processing steadily improves. We anticipate that the energy required to process a single bit of information will eventually become as tiny as 1 electron volt per function\, truly indeed a molecular sized energy. \n Inevitably\, most logic functions\, including storage\, readout\, and other logical manipulations\, eventually will be that efficient. \n There is\, however\, one information-processing-function that bucks this trend. It is communication\, especially over short distances. Our best projections of improvements in the short distance communication function show that it will still require hundreds of thousands of electron volts just to move one bit of information the tiny distance of only 10 micrometers. \n Why this energy per bit discrepancy for communications? It is caused by the difference in voltage scale between the wires and the transistor switches. Transistors are thermally activated\, leading to a required voltage >>kT/q. Wires are long\, and they have a low impedance\, allowing them to operate efficiently even at ~1 millivolt. \n The challenge then is to replace transistors with a new low-voltage switch that is better matched to the wires. I will present some of the technical options for such a new switch that are being explored by the new NSF Science & Technology Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science.
