  (PPG) sensor patch measuring blood-flow volume (BFV) and blood pressure (
 BP) based on AI algorithms is successfully designed and prototyped. With t
 his patch\, the measurement on BFV and BP is non-invasively\, and can be c
 ontinuously collected over more than 24 hours\, resulting in valuable long
 -time monitoring data for medical diagnosis. These long-time\, continuous 
 BVF measurements are particularly important for monitoring the quality of 
 an arteriovenous fistula of a hemodialysis patient for prognosis. As oppos
 ed to the developed patch\, an expensive and bulky BFV monitor is commonly
  adopted in clinic practice as a gold standard for BFV measurement once pe
 r months. The instrument needs to be operated by professional\, well-train
 ed medical personnel. The PPG sensor patch developed is instead a low-cost
 \, small-sized\, wearable\, and easy-to-use sensor that is capable of cont
 inuously measuring BFV and BP via AI algorithm. New designs of front-end a
 nalog circuit\, signal processing\, and an intelligent neural network cali
 bration method are employed to achieve high correlations of R2 = 0.88 for 
 BFV and R2 = 0.85 for BP\, as opposed to their gold standard counterpart m
 onitors.\n\nBio: Dr. Paul C.-P. Chao received his Ph.D. degree from Michig
 an State University\, USA\, and then with Chrysler Corp in Auburn Hill\, D
 etroit\, USA before joined National Chiao Tung University (NCTU)\, Taiwan.
  He is currently University Distinguished Professor of the electrical engi
 neering department at NCTU\, and Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE Sensors C
 ouncil\, 2018 – 2010. His research interests focus on sensors\, actuator
 s and their interface circuitry. Dr. Chao has published more than 280 peer
 -reviewed papers (books\, journal papers\, conferences\, reports) and 38 p
 atents.\nDr. Chao was the recipient of the 1999 Arch T. Colwell Merit Awar

 ts of NCTU for academic affairs (2009-2010) and research and development (
 2015)\; the Secretary General\, IEEE Taipei Section\, 2009-2010\; the foun
 ding chair of Taipei chapter for the IEEE Sensor Council\; Member-at-Large
  for IEEE Sensors Council\, 2012-2014. Dr. Chao received major IEEE awards
  for this service: The IEEE Large Section Award from IEEE Head Quarter for
  the outstanding service as the Secretary for 2009-2010\, and The IEEE MGA
  Award from IEEE Region 10 for outstanding service as the Secretary for IE
 EE Taipei Section\, 2009-2010. He was the General Chair of the 2016 ASME I
 SPS and IoT conference in Santa Clara\, CA\, USA\; chairs and co-chairs of
  major conferences. For editorial services\, he is currently Topical Edito
 rs of IEEE Sensors Journal and IEEE IoT Journal. He was the Associate Edit
 ors of ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics and Journal of Circuit\, Sy
 stem and Computer\; guest editors of special journal issues. Dr. Chao rece
 ived the award of the 2017 Best Topical Editor\, Runner up\, IEEE Sensors 
 Journal. He is a senior member of IEEE and ASME Fellow.\n\n\nNote: The Sem
