Overview

Tom Doyle is the Director of McMaster University’s eHealth Graduate Program and Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His recent research has focused on remote and predictive medicine as well as hearing prosthetics to improve autonomous control by the person using the device. Using machine learning and mobile devices he has been looking at various ways to provide advanced support for the health and wellness of various populations, and at the importance of autonomy in relation to assistive devices which allows the user to have control over technology. Having assistive devices respond to their users allows for the independence of vulnerable populations, such as older adults in health care facilities.
