Chenyang Lu is not a civil engineer. For a computer scientist, however, he builds many bridges. Especially between the fields of IT and healthcare. Lu is Full Graph Professor in the Washington University Department of Computer Science & Engineering at McKelvey School of Engineering in St. Louis. His research focuses on the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems and artificial intelligence, and he is particularly interested in how these technologies can improve healthcare. As part of several teams of surgeons and doctors, Lu has tested Fitbit activity trackers in studies that have shown that these relatively inexpensive wearable devices can play a valuable role in improving patient health. "We can collect data like step count, heart rate and sleep cycles that we use with our machine learning models to predict a deterioration or improvement in a patient's health," said Lu. "These efforts show tremendous potential for wearable and
