Motivation The challenges that schoolchildren confront daily have risen sharply in recent decades. The introduction of new and more complex content and individual learning differences, including prior progress and knowledge, lead to varying individual student learning rates. Furthermore, learnin... Continue

Nowadays the long-term monitoring of health human parameters can be achieved by using wearable devices. For most health monitoring applications, the position of the sensor on the body plays a major role and, if the sensor is not placed correctly, the wearable system performance can be seriously af... Continue

Motivation Although interest in personal health has risen in the population within the past years, it is often difficult for people to integrate dedicated routines into daily life. Existing solutions are mostly used by people who pay attention to their health anyway. Goals and Approaches W... Continue

I2MB - Using behaviour to simulate the effect of non pharmaceutical interventions. Continue

NUM-COMPASS is a collaboration of the Netzwerk Universitätsmedizin, which was founded to develop best practices for pandemic health applications that can be used in a unified framework. Scientists and industry partners from a wide range of backgrounds gather to combine know-how in a coordination an... Continue

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

Abstract We present a fundamentally new approach to design and assess wearable motion systems based on biomechanical simulation and sensor data synthesis. We devise a methodology of personal biomechanical models and virtually attach sensor models to body parts, including sensor positions frequently... 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
