Project: Combining biomedical technologies and design to control disabling symptoms in ageing people with chronic neurodegenerative diseases
| Acronym | JAME (Reference Number: aal-2019-6-105-SCP) |
| Duration | 01/03/2020 - 01/12/2020 |
| Project Topic | The project aims at keeping as active as possible, socially and at work, people ageing with chronic conditions with disabling symptoms, as tremor that has a significant impact on the life of patients. Combining advanced technologies with design principles, we will develop a wearable device which can monitor the movement of the upper limbs and, through an ad-hoc algorithm based on machine learning, can recognize tremor and to suppress it. The project includes an in-depth analysis to understand the user’s attitudes and preferences, a clinical trial aimed at optimizing the technology, and the technological development activities. The goal is to create a non-invasive and non-stigmatizing device that could be worn proudly or discretely, according to the user’s attitude. |
