On the Now at Ohio State podcast, we talk with researchers, innovators and bold thinkers who look at our world, see what the real challenges are, and create the solutions that people need now.
Leveraging wearable tech to keep us healthy and help us heal
Healthcare technology doesn’t have to feel cold or impersonal. In this episode, two Ohio State researchers explore how innovation can support healing in deeply human ways — from wearable sensors woven into clothing to creative, arts-based rehabilitation. Together, they show how thoughtful design and collaboration can reshape the future of care.
Asimina Kiourti is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where she leads the Wearable and Implantable Technologies group. Her interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of electromagnetics, sensors and medicine. Additionally, her work focuses on bio-electromagnetics, wearable and implantable antennas, sensors for body area applications and flexible e-textiles.
Lise is an assistant professor in the College of Medicine in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She develops therapies that unite artistic engagement with neuroscience to help people rehabilitate from neural impairments.
