PROJECTS
Home and Sports Healthcare System:
Using IoT, sensors networks, and wearable technology, we are focusing on the development of a home healthcare system/ strategy for elderly people and patients and their families who need systematic and continuous health management at home. The sports healthcare system focuses on the development of a system that provides personalized exercise intensity and exercise methods to individuals by managing the exercise equipment and updating exercise prescriptions through the feedback of the bio-signals during exercise.
ECG and EMG measurement underwater using hydrophobic CB/PDMS electrodes:
We are studying the wearable biometric devices and systems for bioelectrical signals (electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), electro-dermal activity (EDA), etc.) in all environments (on land, wetted condition, and even underwater using hydrophobic CB/PDMS electrodes. This system enables real-time bio-signal monitoring during aquatic exercise and rehabilitation exercise so that we are focusing on the improvement of this technology to be able to be extended to existing healthcare devices/systems and health promotion programs which have been mainly conducted on land.
Wearable Armband Device for Continuous AFib Monitoring
The development of a wearable device that is able to minimize wearing discomfort and improved the quality of bio-signal can effectively contribute to the early detection and treatment through continuous monitoring of signs and symptoms of heart failure including atrial fibrillation (AFib), and various disorders of diseases. We are focusing on the development of personalized wearable biometric devices/ systems considering the personal medical records, and bio-parameters required by an individual’s prescription, and as well as on the development of signal processing algorithms for detections of features from collected data and for removing significant noises.
