Michael Fisher

My name is Michael Fisher, and my research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare Internet of Things (H-IoT), with a particular emphasis on the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to improve data quality, availability, and security. With a background in biomedical informatics and AI systems engineering, I have been exploring how GANs can help overcome the challenges associated with sparse, imbalanced, or privacy-sensitive H-IoT data. As medical devices become increasingly connected, there is a growing need for robust synthetic data generation to support model training, anomaly detection, and clinical decision support systems.

My work involves designing and training tailored GAN architectures—such as conditional GANs (cGANs) and Wasserstein GANs (WGANs)—to generate realistic physiological time-series data from sensors embedded in wearable and implantable devices. These synthetic datasets simulate heart rate variability, glucose levels, respiratory signals, and other patient-specific metrics while preserving statistical and temporal fidelity. By doing so, GANs not only mitigate data scarcity but also enable privacy-preserving model development. My approach includes evaluating synthetic data through domain-specific metrics and discriminative testing to ensure usability in downstream AI models such as patient monitoring or early warning systems.

The potential applications of GANs in healthcare IoT are vast: from augmenting datasets for rare conditions, to supporting federated learning across hospitals without compromising sensitive patient data. However, challenges remain in terms of clinical validation, generalization across devices, and maintaining interpretability of generated samples. My research addresses these issues by combining GANs with explainable AI (XAI) techniques and working closely with clinical partners to align synthetic data outputs with real-world diagnostic needs. The ultimate goal is to bridge the data gap in digital health, especially for underrepresented populations and decentralized care environments.

As an AI researcher in healthcare, my mission is to develop secure, scalable, and ethically sound solutions that advance the intelligence of connected medical systems. I am currently exploring hybrid GAN models that integrate physiological priors and multi-modal data streams to improve synthesis quality. Looking ahead, I aim to contribute to regulatory-compliant frameworks for synthetic medical data and collaborate with healthcare providers and device manufacturers to embed GAN-based solutions into real-time IoT infrastructures. I believe that GANs, when applied responsibly, can unlock a new era of accessible and trustworthy AI in digital health.
