Background Wearable technology often requires devices to be personalized in order to achieve comfort and usability requirements for a long-term, inconspicuous monitoring of the user health. We propose to implement an algorithm to automate the customization and fitting of smart clothes under moti... Continue

Background Machine learning methods can nowadays be very helpful to automatically collect data and build large-sized datasets. However, the retrieved datasets need to be catalogued before being further processed. Classification may require expert knowledge annotation to train the algorithm, and ... Continue

Background Digital health applications (German: “Digitale Gesundheitsanwendung”, DiGA) are the basis for a rapid time-to-market of health and medical apps. This seminar starts with an international overview of digital health app regulations and an introduction to the pioneering German DiGA act. ... Continue

Course description Digital health is a branch of digital medicine that integrates and leverages multisource and multimodal data for medical knowledge extraction and decision support across a wide range of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. The course starts by introducing the ... Continue

Course description The course provides an overview on the design of wearable and implantable computing systems. The overview is structured in three parts: context recognition, electronic systems and sensors, and additive manufacturing methods. Pattern analysis and machine learning methods to pro... Continue

Background: The smart eyeglasses for the dietary monitoring project require the eyeglasses frame to fit the patient's head, including the mechanical attachment between the head and the frame as well as sensor placement and orientation. Therefore parametric modeling of the eyeglasses for ease of... Continue

Background: The wearable sensor node used in the smart eyeglasses for dietary monitoring system have a very strict size limitation, as well as numerous feature requirements. The possible improvements for the next generation of the PCB may include better memory, energy management, and BLE connec... Continue

Background Printed wearable electronics are required for fast prototyping complex systems with very fine tolerance and strict size requirements. The conductive traces built into or printed on top of the 3d-printed parts are essential for the device's function. The electrical properties of sp... Continue

Background Privacy and functionality are usually considered at odds with each other. As data privacy practices are enforced, data becomes a scarce resource. In order to balance the protection of user privacy with functional services, the European Union enforced the general data protection regula... Continue
