Centre for Electronics

Click Here to Join the Seminar Online Summary Traditional life activity detection methods rely on contact sensors, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), ballistocardiogram (BCG), photoplethysmography (PPG), sphygmomanometer, mercury thermometer, breath belt, and accelerometer-based wearable devices. The contact sensor-based methods can cause physical and psychological discomfort to the users, and some do not support long-term monitoring. Smart wireless sensing of vital signs, including...

Centre for Electronics

Online Teams Link Summary The concept of Cyber-Prosthesis redefines implantable devices not only as mechanical surrogates but also as bodycentric wireless nodes capable of sensing, storing, and transmitting biophysical information. Within this paradigm, the structural components of prosthetic implants—such as orthopedic fixtures, dental screws, stents, and heart valves—are converted into antenna systems operating in the UHF RFID band. These systems communicate through body tissues by...

Centre for Electronics

Online Teams Link Summary Although technical challenges are still daunting, the clinical utility of neuroprosthetics has increased dramatically over the past few years. This has been accomplished through the convergence of numerous disciplines, which have individually added fundamental understanding/capabilities to systems that interface with the human body to restore senses and movement, or treat prevalent diseases that have currently no foreseeable cure. In this talk, we will cover...
