Body balance is crucial for people to smoothly conduct everyday life. This capability can be divided into two types: static and dynamical. The one-leg balance test with eyes closed is a common test method for the former. But a test for the latter remains undeveloped, and the establishment of the testing method, as well as the training one, is expected. Thus, in this research, we designed and built...
Heart rate monitoring has been a significant topic of interest in the areas of healthcare, sports and gaming. Compared to locations such as the neck, ear, or chest, the wrist is a convenient measurement point, as the measurement technology can be integrated into a wristwatch. However, key technical challenges exist, namely a small physiological SNR and large disturbances due to motion artifact. This...
A textile-based breath-sensing belt is presented. Four textile-based, clip type tension sensors, switching at different tension, are installed on a belt such that four-stage digitized pneumograph can be generated, from which both the breath rate and amplitude of the wearer can be estimated. The belt is washable, low-cost, easy and comfortable to wear, and suitable for healthcare, sports, interactive...
In this paper, we propose to provide a better way to monitor one's cardiac health status given today's array of exercise monitors. Built on top of our existing MobiCare technology and using an adaptation of the Fox and Haskell formula for exercise, we have set up an exercise monitor on the mobile phone that will help an individual achieve a certain goal that he or she wants from doing exercise. It...
