Graduate students from UC Irvine’s Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems (ECPS) master’s degree program toured eHealth at CALIT2 Tuesday, Oct. 22. The students, along with guest lecturer Dan Cregg, viewed and interacted with several innovative, internet-connected health devices and systems developed at the eHealth Collaboratory.
Cregg, a member of UCI engineering school’s Engineering Leadership Council and CalPlug’s CTO advisory council, is chief technology officer at Insteon. He has been involved with the graduate-level ECPS program for more than two years, and praises its concentrated focus on enabled systems, cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things. “The program attracts students from all over the world,” Cregg said.
Students interact with MusicGlove, a music-based hand rehabilitation device. The glove, which is outfitted with sensors that generate musical notes, encourages users to exercise their hand by tapping out popular tunes with their fingertips

The interdisciplinary graduate degree program in Embedded & Cyber-Physical Systems is managed by UCI’s Center for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems. It was created following a survey conducted among applicants and current master’s students in both electrical engineering and computer science disciplines, as well as a market study performed by University Extension to estimate the CPS-related job market in the United States.
