CUIP Smart Health Webinar
September 11th, 12 -1 p.m
Often, discussions of smart cities overlook how data and technology have begun to transform how health professionals diagnose and treat their patients. Join us as our presenters explore how data and technology can be integrated to change the future of injury prediction and rehabilitation. Below you’ll find essential info. We look forward to you joining us.

Dr. Misagh Mansouri
Dr. Mansouri is a Research Faculty at the Center for Urban Informatics & Progress (CUIP) in Chattanooga, TN. He received his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2015. His Ph.D. work research was focused on combining patient-specific dynamic simulations and neuromuscular control algorithms to determine whether clinical outcomes are favorable when treatment is consistent with biomechanical causes. He then completed his post-doctoral at University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine. His research focused on developing biomimetic controllers inspired by machine-learning for myoelectric prostheses. At CUIP, he has broad research interests in the areas of smart city health informatics, wearable sensors, and athletic performance using computer simulations and predictive modeling.
Dr. Gary Wilkerson
Gary Wilkerson is a tenured professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he has taught in the Graduate Athletic Training Education Program since 1999. Over the past five years, his research publications have been cited by more than 850 authors. He was among the first scholars to receive the designation of National Athletic Trainers’ Association Fellow after the honor was created in 2008, he was inducted to the NATA Hall of Fame in 2016, and he was awarded the NATA Foundation Medal for Distinguished Research in 2019. His recent research has been focused on the development of methods for clinical identification of subtle perceptual-motor performance deficiencies that elevate the risk for concussion and musculoskeletal injury.
