Most common digestive disorders are chronic conditions and reduce quality of life for patients. Among the standard diagnostic techniques used by gastroenterologists, auscultation is one of the few non-invasive methods. Auscultation is a standard medical practice consisting in listening to body soun... Continue

Problem A main obstacle to deploy body-worn sensor-based wearable systems in free-living settings is the limited battery life. Runtime of devices such miniature accessories and garment can barely cover the time of a daily activity. A continuous long-term behavioural monitoring system requires energ... Continue

Wearable sensor technology, particularly inertial measurement sensors are used in various motion analysis including applications in sport, medicine, and rehabilitation of patients after stroke. We are interested in deriving biomarkers to evaluate the patient's recovery trend, motion performance and ... Continue

To provide high-quality dietary assessment of free-living behaviour is the first step for implementing any effective diet coaching and weight management program.  A continuous direct human observation is an expensive and non-scalable solution. Exploiting an unobtrusive wearable camera-based solution... Continue

WISEglass aims to realise smart eyewear with the perception, performance, and handling of regular eyeglasses. Our approach is based on the observation that most of our senses, vitals, and action involve the head. Smart eyeglasses with regular look thus offer unique and continuous insight into human... Continue

Swallowing appears more accessible than chewing since it involves the neck (pharyngeal) region, rather than the head. Our early investigations were focused on EMG and strain sensing collars. EMG sensors at submental and hyoid positions showed sufficient signal quality for detection of swallows due t... Continue
