Pre-Impact Detection Algorithm to Identify Tripping Events Using Wearable Sensors

Silvestro Micera

This study aimed to investigate the performance of an updated version of our pre-impact detection algorithm parsing out the output of a set of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) placed on lower limbs and designed to recognize signs of lack of balance due to ...

Decoding Neural Metabolic Markers From the Carotid Sinus Nerve in a Type 2 Diabetes Model

Silvestro Micera

Recent studies showed that the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) are overactivated in type 2 diabetes and that restoring the correct CSN neural activity can re-establish the proper metabolism. However, a robust characteriza ...

Prediction of patient-reported physical activity scores from wearable accelerometer data: a feasibility study

Martin Jaggi, Inès Bahej

Many diseases are characterized by limitations in mobility, including a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Reduced mobility impacts a patients ability to perform activities of daily living, which in turn reduces health-related quali ...

Semantic representation and processing of hypoglycemic events derived from wearable sensor data

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Jean-Eudes Marie Ranvier

Diabetes Type 1 is a metabolic disease which results in a lack of insulin production, causing high glucose levels in the blood. It is crucial for diabetic patients to balance this glucose level, and they depend on external substances to do so. In order to ...

Detection of hypoglycemic events through wearable sensors

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Jean-Eudes Marie Ranvier

Diabetic patients are dependent on external substances to balance their blood glucose level. In order to control this level, they historically needed to sample a drop a blood from their hand and have it analyzed. Recently, other directions emerged to offer ...

Teaching Analytics: Towards Automatic Extraction of Orchestration Graphs Using Wearable Sensors

Pierre Dillenbourg, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana, Kshitij Sharma, Luis Pablo Prieto Santos

"Teaching analytics" is the application of learning analytics techniques to understand teaching and learning processes, and eventually enable supportive interventions. However, in the case of (often, half-improvised) teaching in face-to-face classrooms, su ...
