Course Description
Over the last decade, a number of wearable devices has been developed to support humans undergoing medical treatment or physical therapy (Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, knee injury, hip replacement surgery). For example, KneeHapp is a bandage that provides live feedback to patients with a knee injury while they exercise at home (see video and article).
The goal of this course is to review existing literature on wearable devices designed for patients. The focus is on signal processing and machine learning methods for extracting patterns from sensor data.
