Speech Title: New technology for non-invasive intelligent diagnosis, treatment, and integrated health of cardiovascular system

Abstract: The human cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system contains a wealth of functional information that needs to be further revealed. Dynamic monitoring is a very effective way to obtain real-time data individually. However, dynamic monitoring faces difficulties in data collection, and some data cannot be non-invasively monitored. However, individual differences are significant, and information on cardiovascular function needs to be revealed more comprehensively through multimodal data and more efficient learning methods. At present, the treatment of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system mainly relies on medication and invasive surgery. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop non-invasive and non-pharmacological methods for treatment and intervention. Furthermore, closed-loop integration of diagnosis and treatment can be achieved for more precise dynamic non-invasive intervention and control. Firstly, this lecture introduces the preliminary work of the research group in flexible sensing and unawareness monitoring. Then, the personalized modeling and precise diagnosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions based on multimodal data-driven and knowledge-driven learning will be introduced. Finally, the research on personalized intervention based on non-invasive ultrasound will be demonstrated.
