About Dr. Henry S. Hsiao:

Dr. Hsiao's research interests are in the areas of biomedical instrument design and in human and telemedicine and microcomputer interfaces. He has designed a number of medical instruments that are in clinical use. Among these are: monitor for the Operating Room, computer based audiometer, high frequency audiometer, arterial blood oxygen sensor, pulmonary compliance measurement instrument, telecommunication system between the neonatal ICUs in N. C., and telehealth workstations. He is the author of a book on the attraction of moths to light and infrared radiation. He also has developed a system to measure the audience response to video presentations. This was the method used to evaluate the winner of the Presidential Debates and the winner of the USAToday Super Bowl Ad Meter.
