Predicting ALS Outcomes Based on Networked Passive Sensors
The research team proposes to expand and adapt this existing sensor platform to work with people living with ALS. Researchers will add wrist-based wearable sensors (like a smart watch or fitness tracker) to the system, adding the ability to track indicators like blood oxygen saturation and activity outside of the home. Researchers will first test […]
Bed Sensor Development for In-Home Cardiac and Respiration Monitoring
In the United States, 37% of the population is affected by cardiovascular related diseases. In order to avoid fatal consequences, in-home monitoring systems have been under development for the purpose of detecting early signs of cardiovascular abnormalities. Monitoring the heart rate and other cardiac parameters during sleep can provide critical information about the health of a subject.
