This is part of the monthly MassAITC webinar series.
Overview:
This webinar comprises two presentations from Anna Barnacka of MindMics and Edward Wang of Billion Labs. They each describe the work from their MassAITC a2 Pilot Award on addressing heart health monitoring. Anna Barnacka delves into a patented in-ear IH technology that enables heart health monitoring through TWS earbuds and discusses future plans to make this technology accessible to all. Edward Wang describes the VibroBP Smartphone app, the first app of its kind to use AHA-recommended oscillometry methods to ascertain BP and that does not require per-individual calibration.
Abstracts:
- Hearing the Heart: Impact of MindMics’ In-ear Infrasonic Hemodynography on Cardiac Health
- In this talk, we will highlight the MindMics Heart Health System, an advanced solution addressing heart health monitoring and aging-related challenges. We will delve into the patented in-ear IH technology that enables heart health monitoring through TWS earbuds and discuss our future plans to make this technology accessible to all. Discover why MindMics, with its clinically validated technology and industry collaborations, is uniquely positioned to lead in next-generation health monitoring and Business to Business growth.
- Smartphone Blood Pressure Monitoring is Only a Buzz Away
- In this talk, we will discuss solutions that our team has developed to measure blood pressure using a smartphone. Through this talk, we’ll discuss the development of an ultra-low cost blood pressure attachment that augments the smartphone to measure blood pressure in a calibrationless manner and how through design and testing, we uncovered older adult usability and product translatability challenges our solution presented. We will further explore the result of our concept refinement and evolution of the idea towards a smartphone only solution that reduces the usability issue and massively improves productization. Our latest approach, The VibroBP Smartphone app, is the first to use AHA-recommended oscillometry methods to ascertain BP and does not require per-individual calibration.
