Intel Research engages with both internal and external users to impact industry (sometimes referred to as vertical industries) and society by testing and piloting research technologies. The purpose of these engagements are to advance Intel’s research through putting new technologies in the hands of end users, so they can help us refine the value proposition and focus our research. We are also seeking to understand the ecosystem around these new technologies, so eventually Intel can move promising new technologies out of the research realm into the broader industry.
Research Projects
New Possibilities for the Cell Phone Platform
In 2006 Intel Research and Motorola Labs began a joint effort to explore new research directions for mobile computing and communication. This is a relationship brokered by Roy Want and the Ubiquity Group within Intel Research, to expand the scope of research into mobile systems. The focus of the collaboration is on integrating sensors into the cell phone platform.
Enabling Eye Care in Rural India
Intel and UC Berkeley, with support from the National Science Foundation, are helping the Aravind Eye Care System, a network of five hospitals in South India, in its quest to deliver affordable, quality eye care services to the rural poor.
Applying Technology to Assist in Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Researchers from Intel and Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), are engaged in a collaborative research effort; exploring the potential for applying a novel software infrastructure called Diamond to do interactive, search-assisted diagnosis of breast lesions.
