Seminar: Respiratory condition and air quality assessment
Background
A healthy human breathes roughly 30,000 times a day while consuming about 11,000 litres of air. Air consists of not only gases (e.g. oxygen and nitrogen), but also a complex mixture of chemicals and orgasms, such as particle pollutants, pollen, bacteria and viruses that all threaten the wellness of human respiratory system. The project aims at implementing a convenient approach for daily respiratory and air quality analysis by merging advanced monitoring technologies.
Aim
Develop wearable prototypes for close-to-face air analysis and apply detection algorithms to extract useful biomarkers.
Learning objectives
- Prototype health monitoring wearables.
- Design study protocols and arrange data collection.
- Extract biomarkers from sensor data.
