Wearable and Wireless Systems for Healthcare II: Movement Disorder Evaluation and Deep Brain Stimulation Systems

Dr. Robert LeMoyne presently is an Adjunct Professor for Northern Arizona University for the Department of Biological Sciences and an Adjunct Professor for Czech Technical University in Prague for the Department of Biomedical Technology. Dr. LeMoyne is researching advanced concepts for wearable and wireless systems, such as for the domain of gait, reflex response, movement disorders, and therapeutic interventions. His Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering was earned at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) (2010). He has first authored more than 150 technical proceedings, including four books, which have been cited more than 2000 times, spanning a broad array of subjects, such as the rampant assortment of applications for wearable and wireless systems.

Timothy Mastroianni is a cognitive scientist, researcher, and entrepreneur. He pioneered the non-invasive use of computer vision and pattern recognition to uncover the internal states of random number generators in machines (HiLoClient2002). Mastroianni developed the first model and algorithms capable of predicting a person's thoughts using machine learning and fMRI, presenting these groundbreaking methods at Carnegie Mellon University to map the human brain and identify brain states during specific tasks. He is also the founder of Cognition Engineering, a subsidiary of Cognition International LLC.

Donald Mark Whiting was raised in Altoona, Pennsylvania and began his undergraduate education at Grinnell College in Iowa in 1976. He received an MS in Physiology at Georgetown University in 1981 and was awarded his medical degree in 1985 after training at Thomas Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. Donald then completed his neurosurgical residency at The Cleveland Clinic and a Neurotrauma fellowship at Allegheny General Hospital.
In 1992, Donald Whiting joined a practice in Washington, PA that would later merge with the health system now known as Allegheny Health Network. He became the System Chair for their Neuroscience Institute and a Professor of Neurosurgery for Drexel University in 2014. Three years later, he also accepted the role of President of Allegheny Clinic. Amongst his peers, Donald Whiting is a respected physician-leader that is passionate about changing the way health care is delivered.
Donald has authored over 60 scientific articles and chapters in medical textbooks and various publications such as The Journal of Neurosurgery & Current Concepts in Movement Disorder Management. He is an active member in many of his field's leading professional and scientific organizations, including the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and the American Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery.
It's no wonder Donald Whiting has been the annual recipient of "Top Doctor/Surgeon" awards on both local and national levels. He is regarded as one of the nation's foremost experts in the use of deep-brain stimulation to control the debilitating motor symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, helping establish Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as one of the top centers in the world for DBS treatment. His sub-specialties include complex spine surgery, disc replacement/motion preservation spine surgery, the surgical treatment of movement disorders and Neurosurgical management of pain.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, making pizza and wine.

Nestor D. Tomycz MD was born and raised in Flint, MI. He graduated from Harvard College summa cum laude in chemistry in 2001 and earned his MD from Harvard Medical School in 2005. His general surgery internship and neurosurgery residency were completed at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and he completed a fellowship in functional and stereotactic neurosurgery at Allegheny General Hospital under Dr. Donald Whiting. He is currently director of stereotactic/functional neurosurgery and director of neurosurgical pain division at Allegheny General Hospital. His research interests include deep brain stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, chronic pain, and neurodegenerative disorders.

羅伯特·勒莫因博士目前是北亞利桑那大學生物科學系的兼任教授，以及捷克布拉格技術大學生物醫學技術系的兼任教授。勒莫因博士正在研究可穿戴和無線系統的先進概念，涉及步態、反射反應、運動障礙和治療介入等領域。他在加州大學洛杉磯分校（UCLA）獲得生物醫學工程博士學位（2010年）。他是150多篇技術論文的第一作者，包括四本書籍，這些作品被引用超過2000次，涵蓋了可穿戴和無線系統的各種應用。

蒂莫西·馬斯特羅亞尼是一位認知科學家、研究人員和企業家。他開創了非侵入性使用計算機視覺和模式識別來揭示機器隨機數生成器內部狀態的技術（HiLoClient2002）。馬斯特羅亞尼開發了第一個模型和算法，能夠利用機器學習和功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）預測一個人的思維，並在卡內基梅隆大學展示這些開創性方法，以映射人腦並識別特定任務中的腦狀態。他也是Cognition Engineering的創始人，該公司是Cognition International LLC的子公司。

唐納德·馬克·懷廷在賓夕法尼亞州的阿爾圖納長大，1976年在愛荷華州的格林奈爾學院開始他的本科教育。他於1981年在喬治城大學獲得生理學碩士學位，並在1985年獲得醫學學位，當時在費城的托馬斯·傑佛遜醫學院接受培訓。隨後，唐納德在克里夫蘭診所完成了神經外科住院醫師訓練，並在阿勒格尼總醫院完成了神經創傷專科訓練。1992年，唐納德·懷廷加入了位於賓夕法尼亞州華盛頓的診所，該診所後來與現在稱為阿勒格尼健康網絡的健康系統合併。他於2014年成為該系統神經科學研究所的系統主席，並擔任德雷克塞爾大學的神經外科教授。三年後，他還接受了阿勒格尼診所院長的職位。在同行中，唐納德·懷廷是一位受人尊敬的醫生領袖，熱衷於改變醫療服務的方式。唐納德已發表超過60篇科學文章和醫學教科書中的章節，以及《神經外科雜誌》和《運動障礙管理的當前概念》等各種出版物。他是許多領先專業和科學組織的活躍成員，包括神經外科醫生大會、美國神經外科醫生協會和美國立體定向與功能性神經外科學會。難怪唐納德·懷廷每年都獲得地方和全國層面的“頂尖醫生/外科醫生”獎項。他被視為全國在使用深腦刺激控制帕金森病和其他運動障礙患者的癱瘓性運動症狀方面的專家之一，幫助將位於賓夕法尼亞州匹茲堡的阿勒格尼總醫院建立為全球頂尖的DBS治療中心之一。他的子專業包括複雜脊椎手術、椎間盤置換/運動保留脊椎手術、運動障礙的外科治療以及疼痛的神經外科管理。在空閒時間，他喜歡與家人共度時光，製作披薩和葡萄酒。

內斯特·D·托米茲醫生出生並成長於密歇根州弗林特。他於2001年以優異成績從哈佛大學化學系畢業，並於2005年獲得哈佛醫學院的醫學學位。他的普通外科實習和神經外科住院醫師訓練均在匹茲堡醫療中心完成，並在阿勒格尼總醫院在唐納德·懷廷博士的指導下完成功能性和立體定向神經外科的專科訓練。他目前擔任...
