Birds-of-Feather: Medical CPS

Special Interest Group: Medical Devices, Discussion Lead: Oleg Sokolsky (U Penn),

This session brings together CPS researchers who work on topics related to health care.  The goal of the session is to seek a common vision for the field and pursue a coordinated agenda of Medical CPS (MCPS) research.

Possible agenda items:

1. Mapping the space of MCPS
   -  What are the distinct subdomains?  A preliminary taxonomy has been developed to set up the MCPS group on CPS-VO.  It needs to be expanded to find a consensus within the MCPS community.  The taxonomy can be found in the MCPS group.
   - Establish (common) challenge problems for subdomains of MCPS
   - Identify available technology/methods and technology gaps
   - Identify and engage key industry stakeholders
2. Promoting interactions:
   - Shared testbeds, experimental platforms to facilitate evaluation of new devices/algorithms
   - Shared patient models, data sets, etc.
      o   physiological traces from clinical scenarios
      o   behavioral traces from assisted living contexts
   - Collaboration with the FDA

Watch this space for further updates to the agenda.
