Integration of Sensor Technology to Support Advanced Prosthetics & Amputee User Interface
Abstract
Integration of Sensor Technology to Support Advanced Prosthetics & Amputee User InterfaceWearable devices provide a method for data collection and prosthetic interfaces represent a prime opportunity to incorporate sensors into a device that demands daily use and closely interacts with the human body.The long-term objective of this proposed research is to develop a technology platform that will allow a prosthetic interface to collect both user/biological and device/mechanical data. The data collected by this will be sto"red in a cloud based system and then translated and visualized in either a mobile or web based user portal. To achieve this, we will"" develop and integrate amodular sensor array into a prosthetic socket, create the underlying mobile app architecture, and design a" robust graphical user interface to service the mobile app. To store the and disseminate the collected information to the interface we will utilize a database on the cloud and create cloud base algorithms (including machine learning). A web portal will be used to demonstrate the enduser~s capacity to interact with the data in a meaningful way.
