Background Monitoring and quantifying functional motion is essential for many clinical applications and disease pattern e.g., infectious spine diseases. Different measurement techniques ranging from manual assessment over Motion Capturing Systems (MoCap) and inertial measurement units (IMUs) are use... Continue

Background From a classical marker-based motion capture system (MoCap) you obtain the coordinates of placed markers, which are used to establish a biomechanical model. However, information of the subject's circumferences (silhouette) and surface effects is not provided, which is crucial in case of ... Continue

Background Adolescent girls with AN undergo high levels of stress, which has been shown as risk factor in the development of eating disorders. Widely examined autonomic indices for stress reactivity are heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV, RR intervals (RRI) in electrocardiogram). The cu... Continue

Background Agent-based models can be used to simulate population behaviour. Using the simulated behaviours, we can analyse the different components that affect the spread of infections. Our current experience with the pandemic has shown that different regions might have a different response to simi... Continue

Background: The increased use of audio data coming from microphones in ubiquitous systems offers new possibilites for context recognition, but causes severe privacy concerns at the same time. This problem is particularly relevant in digital health contexts, as privacy is a top priority in medical ... Continue

Background The project NUM-COMPASS established a framework that facilitates the design of pandemic-related studies. The project yielded an exemplary app, which can be found on https://numde.github.io/compass-numapp/. This seminar aims to familiarise students with the novel NUM app and give them the... Continue

Background Electromyography (EMG) has been extensively used in various digital health applications. In this field, miniaturization is crucial, as health data shall be recorded without influencing the daily life of the patient. To meet these requirements while avoiding signal loss, wearable designs ... Continue

Background Novel wireless in-ear headphones can do more than playing music. They come with various types of sensors, e.g. microphones, inertial measurement unit (IMU) or accelerometer. This makes such earables interesting in health contexts. The goal of this seminar is to investigate the usefulness... Continue

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the necessity and potential of digital systems in helping researchers tracking symptoms and other biomarkers of the population. The NUM-COMPASS project was funded to create a unified framework that helps researchers with developing apps for pandemic stu... Continue
