Publication: Predicting Orthostatic Symptoms Using a Multiparameter Wearable Sensor
Authors: Ziad A Elhajjaji, Amar S Basu Abstract Orthostatic disorders affect 30% of older adults and increase the risk for falls. The current diagnostic standard, the blood pressure cuff, cannot capture the rapid, multifaceted dynamics of orthostasis physiology, resulting in frequent underdiagnosis. This paper demonstrates multiparameter, real-time measurement of orthostasis using TRACE, an earlobe mounted wearable developed in our group. In prior work, we demonstrated a novel metric called orthostatic hypovolemia (OHV1), the initial loss in cephalic (head) blood volume immediately upon standing. This study significantly advances our prior work by introducing an additional 2 metrics: OHV2, the cephalic blood volume deficit after the body achieves homeostasis after standing; and postural orthostatic tachycardia (POT), the increase in heart rate. The 3 metrics were evaluated in 101 older adults who wore the TRACE device during postural…
Award: Recognition as most comprehensive monitoring system for older adults from National Council on Aging (2025)
Experts from the National Council on Aging (NCOA) have selected the Top 5 Home Monitoring Systems for older adults for the year 2025 and Livindi has been named the most comprehensive solution currently on the market. The pros of their solution were noted as the affordability, the variety of sensors available (including bed sensor and activity tracker), accessibility to telehealth, the favorable return policy (30-day return window), connectivity options (both Wi-Fi and cellular), and easy self installation. What they said: "The Livindi home monitoring system works well for people who want to participate in their own health monitoring, as some of the devices, like the weight scale and blood pressure monitor, require users to take their own daily measurements. That said, many of the sensors, like the motion and door monitors, work passively in the…
Grant Funding: NHLBI R21 – Sleep pathology and cardiac aging
Methodologies and algorithms from the pilot award informed the development and design of this funded grant application. Source: R21HL175584 (NIH RePORTER)
Grant Funding: R21 AG088872
Title: Characterizing autonomic impairments in Frontotemporal Dementia This R21 builds upon the tech ready cohort that was established by the pilot project funding. Public Health Relevance Statement: This proposal will test the accuracy and reliability of autonomic measurements in bvFTD patients. Measurements will be collected both with established equipment and via at-home devices to assess the validity of the latter. Finally, autonomic measurements will be correlated to socioemotional dysfunction in patients. Source: R21 AG088872 (NIH RePORTER)
