Arvind and all--This is indeed exciting news. I had the opportunity to spend considerable time with Sang when he visited the campus on March 25th. We discussed his plans for future activities including his interest in rejoining the Healthcare Engineering Signature Area Committee (HcESAC). I reminded him that it was he who recommended that the committee focus its activity in the area of assistive technology which, incidentally, we are still pursuing. I look forward to his return with great anticipation.--Bob Hannemann--Chair, HcSAC On 4/3/2013 11:09 PM, Daniels, Mitchell E wrote:
