CITRIS - Ambulatory Monitoring Inc Collaboration
TASKS
Characterize accelerometer signature of falls, sitting forcefully, accidental banging and exercise. These signatures have to be identified over a wide spectrum of activities and populations
“Ballistocardiogram” – use the supersensitive accelerometer channel during rest periods with different ranges of filters to identify, heart rate, respiration pattern and absence of signal signifying no heat activity
Design alarm cancellation method via shaking of the wrist or a signal button
Berkeley
AMI / PCDProvide platform of actigraph devices
Modify current system for fall testing
Work with Berkeley on LAN wireless communication between sensor and local CPU
Assemble and prototype devices for miniaturization and chip design
Sensors: Wrist worn 1-d accelerometer platform is the current Army prototype (“actigraph”). It is currently available through the PCD corporation in Florida.
Design LAN for GPS and fall down signature integration
Develop optimum long range communication paradigms (144 MHz - 2.4 GHz)
