Bradyglove project
Purpose
Objective measurements and data collection for Parkinson’s symptoms
Who
Parkinson patients / Medical field
What
Τhe BradyGlove can eliminate Parkinson symptoms, bradykinesia and tremor by tracking the patients’ hand motion patterns and produce results that are compliant with UPDRS scale.
Why
Using this particular web-enabled glove to monitor patients, who live in remote areas, constitutes the future of telemedicine for Parkinson’s patients. This project has cοme up as a novel idea in order to change the way that physicians make a decision about their patients and improve their quality of life. BradyGlove presented it at the MIT Media Lab Hackathon Contest in 2013 and was awarded as the most innovative solution.
OMT project
Purpose
A general purpose activity and motion tracking device with focus on low power consumption and long term of activity tracking with a single charge of battery.
Who
Hardware Developers
It is also designed to be a low cost open source motion tracking solution for everyone who targets a professional developing platform to implement activity based applications and interfaces.
What
The OMT device is based on NXP MK64 micro-controller equipped with an TDK 9-axis IMU sensor, a secondary Analog Devices Accelerometer, to enable low power mode and longer data collection, and a microSD card slot for easy access to large flash storage media. Open Motion Tracker is also compatible with Hexiwear Platform. The OMT project includes a Hexiwear compatible platform that expands your Hexiwear device capabilities allowing the user to have SD card flash storage, independent RTC clock and secondary 9-axis IMU sensor and extra battery. The OMT device was designed and developed at UMASS Lowell as part of research in classifying human body motion patterns using LSTM neural networks based model and energy expenditure estimation.
Humorist project
Purpose
A wearable health monitor (WHM) device consists of a prototype which is capable of measuring bio-signals.
Who
Inpatient / Medical field
Hospitals and clinics for continuous patient health tracking
Why
A variety of non-invasive sensors are incorporated to execute measurements such as heart rate, respiratory rate, electrocardiograph, blood oxygenation, body acceleration, blood pressure, and body temperature.
What
Humorist WHM enables live health tracking remotely over WiFi connectivity. It is designed to last up to 25 Hours of data logging running on a 6Ah Li-Po battery. All the sensory system is integrated with a wrist blood pressure monitor device to maintain simplicity. There is an on/off switch, a USB charging port, and an HDMI port for debugging. There is an extra port to add two leads on the human body and close the loop for the ECG circuit. WHM device is designed for clinical environments where patients will be monitored 24/7 by physicians and warning them for any emergency patient’s case.
Respi project
Purpose
Smart Spirometer is a smartphone-enabled spirometer able to measure FEV, PEF, FVC, FIF, and FEF spirometry factors accurately. It is designed to be robust and easy to use by everyone without manual instructions.
Who
Asthma or COPD Sufferers / Health and Wellness
What
That Project was developed for Respi Inc. as an early-stage prototype of a low-cost spirometer. There is a unique and patentable airflow measuring technique capable of serving accurate values. Smart Spirometer is designed to be durable without mechanical parts and compatible with 3rd party disposable mouthpieces. Furthermore, it developed to be a medical monitoring device, fully compliant with ATS (American Thoracic Society) regulations. It is made for personal monitoring from asthmatics and COPD patients. Smart Spirometer is compatible with iPhone 5 and 5S and Lightning connector powered devices.
Custom Force Sensitive Resistors Evaluation Board
Purpose
Evaluation of different sizes and sensitivities of our Custom Force Sensitive Resistors
Who
It is suitable for a variety of custom applications depending on customer needs in pressure sensing
What
A variety of sizes and sensitivities are given in the evaluation board, so engineers can pick the sensor that fits their application best. Their innovative design makes them easy to use and implement into any Printed Circuit Board or application.
Acquisition Device (SBT)
Purpose
Custom acquisition device for Mountain bikes suspensions testing and evaluation
Who
Case study for bike suspension makers
What
It collects a variety of different types of data from multiple mechanical bike activities such as suspension air pressure changes, vibrations, bike orientation, bike location, suspension fork diving and speed.
