BE 418 Sensor Applications in Neurorehabilitaton
This project based course will focus on the development and testing of novel technologies to monitor human movement in the real-world environment. The availability of low-cost, low-power, miniature sensors opens up potential applications for devices that can provide new data for quantitative assessment of the impact of neurological diseases that limit activity. Students will work together on a specific project and technology. Tasks will include quantifying the performance of the sensors, performing a literature review of comparable devices on the market or under development, adapting the technology to a device that has commercial potential, and collecting data from human trials to evaluate the feasibility of the product and performing a market analysis.
