Bio

Dr. Venet Osmani joined Create-Net in 2008, where he is working in a number of projects, tackling the issues surrounding Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). The main focus of his work is on development of concepts to allow independent living of patients that experience decline of cognitive functions. Cognitive decline may be age related, or caused by various dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease patients are of particular interest, given the increasing prevalence of the disease.
Dr. Osmani holds a PhD from Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland. He is a reviewer/TPC member for a number of conferences and journals including Elseiver’s JNCA, Troubador’s JPCC, PervasiveHealth '09, ICOST2009, e-health 2009, NOMS2008, AmI-07, CODS2007, IEEEVTC 2007, PerCom2007, UIC2007. He is a member of IEEE and ACM.
