Embedded Systems
Lightweight smart shoe called Hermes aimed at extending fall risk analysis and human balance monitoring outside of a lab environment. The goal is to combine embedded sensing, signal processing, and balance modeling techniques to create this scientific tool capable of accurately determining fall risk assessment and walking behavior patterns. The model which determines these incorporates variability and correlation of features extracted while walking with the shoe. These variances and correlations of features which have been identified by geriatric motion study as precursors to falls and/or balance abnormalities, can then be used as a way of warning the user or the user's doctor for further investigation. Other important goals of Hermes are to provide an affordable, durable, mobile, reliable, and customizable solution to monitor balance outside of theRead more • January 16, 2011
Algorithm Design & Signal Analytics
The design of automatic and
unsupervised methods to extract valuable information from the data
collected from various medical signals. Our methods realize the
relation between different sources of information such as blood
pressure, heart rate, and body motion and enable field experts
(medicine, healthcare) to understand the irregularities in subjects'
habits and frequent actions and their impact on their vital signs.
