Speech Title: Smart Health and Smart Ecosystems Using AI: Engineering Sensor–AI Systems from Telemedicine and Kidney Injury Detection to Brain–Computer Interfaces, Cancer Diagnostics, Fisheries, and Safety Modeling

Abstract: This invited talk presents an integrated AI engineering perspective on interdisciplinary research that combines artificial intelligence, sensor technologies, and computational modeling into scalable cyber–physical intelligence systems for healthcare, environmental sustainability, and safety-critical applications.

In smart health, the talk highlights AI-enabled telemedicine health kiosks that integrate non-invasive physiological sensors with machine learning and time-series prediction models for screening and long-term management of non-communicable diseases. This includes electrochemical biosensing for early acute kidney injury (AKI) detection, where nanostructured electrodes are used to detect NGAL biomarkers and AI models enhance sensitivity, robustness, and real-time decision support.

The presentation further covers AI-assisted brain–computer interfaces (BCI) based on fNIRS and hybrid EEG–fNIRS sensing, enabling cognitive-state monitoring, assistive communication, and adaptive human–machine interaction. In biomedical diagnostics, AI-enhanced SERS nano-biosensing for early cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cancer detection is discussed, where advanced signal processing and deep learning transform complex Raman spectra into reliable point-of-care diagnostic outcomes.

Beyond healthcare, the talk extends to AI for smart fisheries and environmental monitoring, using edge-AI computer vision and sensor fusion for real-time fish species recognition, catch analytics, and water-quality assessment to support sustainable resource management. The talk also introduces computational modeling related to Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS), employing differential-equation models of cardiac cellular energy dynamics and outlining future opportunities for AI-assisted risk monitoring using wearable physiological sensing.

Overall, the talk positions AI as an engineering backbone connecting sensors, communication systems, and intelligent decision-making across health, environment, and safety domains, aligning closely with the scope of computer communication and information systems at CCCIS 2026.
Doctor of Business Administration, a Master of Science in Information Technology, and a Bachelor of Accountancy (Honours). Her professional credentials include Professional Technologist in Cybersecurity Technology and Certifications in Risk, Compliance, and Cyber Risk Management. With prior industry experience in ERP and ERM consultancy, she actively supervises postgraduate students and contributes as a programme assessor, reviewer, keynote speaker, visiting professor, and lead consultant in governance, ESG, risk management, and digital technologies.

Biography: Chavis Srichan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Khon Kaen University, Thailand. He received his Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Computer Engineering from Khon Kaen University, a Master’s degree from Hamburg University of Technology, and a Doctor of Engineering (D.Eng.) from the Asian Institute of Technology. His research focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence with sensor technologies and cyber–physical systems for real-world impact. His interdisciplinary work spans smart health and telemedicine systems, AI-assisted biosensing (including kidney injury and cancer diagnostics), brain–computer interfaces using fNIRS and EEG, intelligent fisheries and environmental monitoring, and computational modeling for safety-critical health conditions.
