Abstract

This is a lecture for the general audience without advanced mathematics background and only very minimal knowledge of signal and image processing. The topics of discussion include:

1. The state-of-the-art (nonlinear and non-stationary) signal and image decomposition and reconstruction methods that extend to higher dimensional data manifolds.
2. What is telemedicine? Why is it necessary? What are the benefits?
3. Telehealth prolongs healthy lives and is a multi-trillion-$ industry and beyond.
4. Everyone wants non-invasive medical diagnosis, but what are the options?
5. A brief discussion of traditional Chinese medical (TCM) practice.
6. How does the knowledge of TCM benefit the advancement of bio-medical research?
7. Perhaps modern spectral, imaging, and data manifold methods could provide the solutions, at least partially.
