Abstract
Last year, I attended the world’s premier conference on biomedical engineering – 38th International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC 2016) in Orlando. In this talk, I will give an overview of the overall conference and presentations on human genomics and automation of polysomnography (evaluation of sleep and its disorders). I will then talk about two intriguing tangent areas stimulated during, but not covered by, the conference: (1) organs-on-chips technology and (2) a connection between obstructive sleep apnoea and Alzheimer’s disease.
