Pamela Z. Cacchione, University of Pennsylvania. Li Shen, University of Pennsylvania. Heart Failure Monitoring Socks will be used in hospitalized persons with heart failure to gather data on heart failure exacerbations and responses to treatment. We will use this data to develop predictive models for edema and fatigue due to heart failure.
Justin Chan, Carnegie Mellon University. Swarun Kumar, Carnegie Mellon University. Neelesh Nadkarni, University of Pittsburgh. The proposed work uniquely aims to measure pulse transit time and blood pressure across different arterial points across the body using the reflections of wireless signals from a single AI-enabled mmWave radar device, which is a key enabler towards whole-body blood flow monitoring both in home and clinical environments.
Selina Zhu, Lumia Health. Paolo Bonato, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital This pilot will test the Lumia ear wearable in people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), allowing users to track blood flow to the head and report symptoms through a voice-controlled AI assistant. The study will focus on usability and adapting Lumia’s technology for older adults with cognitive impairments.
Longfei Shangguan, University of Pittsburgh This project will aim to develop an innovative wearable system that leverages biomagnetism to deliver more accurate heart rate and respiration monitoring across diverse skin tones.
Edward Jay Wang, Billion Labs Inc. This project aims to establish accessible early screening of hypertension by democratizing BP monitoring. We aim to achieve this by converting the billions of smartphones into oscillometric BP monitors without hardware add-ons.
Amar Basu, Wayne State University, Michael Busa, UMass Amherst. This project will evaluate TRACE, a novel wearable sensor for monitoring orthostatic vital signs continuously at home, whenever an individual stands up.
Anna Barnacka, MindMics Inc. The MindMics pilot project explored the use of infrasonic hemodynography (IH) technology embedded in everyday wireless earbuds to monitor cardiovascular health and assess vascular aging.
