Coronary artery disease, heart failure, angina pectoris and diabetes are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality over the globe. Susceptibility to such disorders is compounded by changing lifestyles, poor dietary routines, aging…
Yoga is widely recognized for improving physical fitness, flexibility, and mental well being. However, these benefits depend strongly on correct posture execution. Improper alignment during yoga practice can reduce effectiveness and…
Given the high prevalence of sedentary behavior in daily life, simple yet practical solutions for behavior change are needed to avoid detrimental health effects. The mobile app SedVis was developed based on the health action process…
BACKGROUND: Pressure sores are localized injuries to the skin and underlying tissues and are mainly resulting from overpressure. Paraplegic peoples are particularly subjects to pressure sores because of long-time seated postures and sensory…
Low-back pain (LBP) is a widespread disease which can also be highly disabling, but physicians lack of basic understanding and diagnosis tools. During this study, we have designed and built a new wearable device capable of detecting…
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorder. To reduce its incidences, some back exoskeletons have been designed and already commercialized. However, there is a gap between the phases of device and testing on subjects.…
Prolonged sitting is a health risk leading to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. To combat this, various "nudging" strategies encourage stand-ups. Behavior change triggers use explicit prompts such as smartphone push notifications or…
Back injuries are the most prevalent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and represent a major cause of disability. Although innovations in wearable robots aim to alleviate this hazard, the majority of existing exoskeletons are obtrusive…
Obesity and being over-weight add to the risk of some major life threatening diseases. According to W.H.O., a considerable population suffers from these disease whereas poor nutrition plays an important role in this context. Traditional…
Walking is one of the most common modes of terrestrial locomotion for humans. Walking is essential for humans to perform most kinds of daily activities. When a person walks, there is a pattern in it, and it is known as gait. Gait analysis…
A complete smart insole solution that continuously monitors the foot plantar pressure and temperature can detect foot complications early and that too from the convenience of the user home. Widespread health complications such as Diabetic…
