During the implantation of Deep Brain Stimulation Electrodes for the treatment of Parkinson's disease the operating team of neurosurgeons and neurologists evaluates the symptom improvement at multiple electrode positions in order to decide where a permanent electrode can achieve the best benefits. This evaluation is done and documented manually. In this project a mechatronic device has been developed...
Morbus Parkinson is a widespread disease amongst the elderly people. With increasing life expectancy the numbers of patients with Parkinsons disease are rising. Over the last decade, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of certain nuclei within the basal ganglia has been established as an effective treatment for patients with advanced Parkinsons disease (PD) and motor complications not longer adaequatly treated...
Dehydration among elderly people is both a widespread and health threatening problem which requires continuous monitoring of beverage intake. In this contribution a concept for a system for automatic detection of filling levels based on radio frequency identification (RFID) is presented. It consists of passive sensor cups including a resistive sensor system and an RFID transponder as well as an RFID...
This article presents a new method for the data fusion of the intraoperative Electromyography (EMG) signals from a nerve monitor with the position information from a surgical navigation system. In principle, EMG signals and the position information are merged with each other based on the distance-threshold relationship. The merged information can be used to control the power of active surgical instruments...
