Unobtrusive Sensing Technologies for the Lifecare Solution

Unobtrusive sensing for gait rehabilitation assessment

The physiotherapy exercises for gait rehabilitation are performed by the patient under physiotherapist assistance. During successive physiotherapy sessions the patient motor capabilities is evaluated by the physiotherapist without the usage of instruments and a set of reports are fill manually in order to store the rehabilitation progress based on observed facts. To perform an objective evaluat...

Unobtrusive Sensing of Emotions (USE)

Emotions are acknowledged as a crucial element for artificial intelligence; this is, as is illustrated, no different for Ambient Intelligence (AmI). Unobtrusive Sensing of Emotions (USE) is introduced to enrich AmI with empathic abilities. USE coins the combination of speech and the electrocardiogram (ECG) as a powerful and unique combination to unravel people’s emotions. In a controlled study,...

Unobtrusive emotion sensing and interpretation in smart environment

Currently, a particular focus of human centered technology is in expanding traditional contextual sensing and smart processing capabilities of ubiquitous systems exploiting user’s affective and emotional states to develop more natural communication between computing artefacts and users. This paper presents a smart environment of Web services that has been developed to integrate and manage diffe...

Efficient and Unobtrusive Wearable Interaction: A Sensing Wireless Data Glove

One challenge of wearable computing is the design and use of interaction devices for wearable applications that are accepted by users. In our previous work, the Winspect [1] project, a wearable system for crane maintenance was constructed that used a multitude of cable connections to attach a data glove interaction device, an external battery pack, ultrasound emitters and receivers, a RFID scan...
