Technologies for rudimentary physiological sensing are getting cheaper and easier to implement. Consider, for instance, these non-contact sensors from UCSD which can be used to take an EEG through hair or an ECG through a T-shirt! One can even make a simple oscilloscope to digitize, store and view the signal using only a Tiny45 micro-controller […]
Introduction Our goal was to build a brain-computer interface using an AVR microcontroller. We decided that the least invasive way of measuring brain waves would be using electroencephalography (EEG) to record microvolt-range potential differences across locations on the user’s scalp. In order to accomplish this, we constructed a two-stage amplification and filtering circuit. Moreover, we
This is a project I’m calling Tacit. No, I didn’t bother making an awkward backronym for it, it just seemed like an appropriate name that’s a lot shorter (though less descriptive) than “Hand-Mounted Haptic Feedback Sonar Obstacle Avoidance Asstance Device”. It measures the distance to things and translates that into pressure on the wrist. It’s wrist mounted and senses objects from
Have you ever felt like not wanting to celebrate Halloween? Or too lazy to open the door and hear “trick or treat” a thousand times? Well, if that’s you, we offer the perfect solution without losing the spirit! This project is an automatic machine that works as a candy dispenser by detecting when a hand
Time for a follow-up to the Single Button Combination Lock by creating another oddball type of switch/lock. To activate this switch we make use of a Parallax Ping))) Ultrasonic sensor, an Arduino-style board and some other hardware – to make a device that receives a four-number code which is made up of the distance between a hand

No longer will you have to pay hundreds of dollars for a heart rate monitor! The Smart Heart Monitor will be able to do all of your cardiac measuring needs for you! The Smart Heart Monitor measures the user’s heartbeat using an LED and a very sensitive photo-resistor attached to the user’s ear. A light
The Need: Occupational Therapy Device Occupational therapy is used in treating Traumatic Brain Injury during many phases of recovery and rehabilitation. As the patient’s condition improves, occupational therapy helps them regain skills ranging from basic self-care, to complex cognitive skills such as memory and problem solving. Occupational therapy can be helpful for individuals of all ages. Source: http://www.head-trauma-resource.com/occupational-therapy.htm According to numerous

We are nation of obsessive counters: of pulse, steps, followers and calories. Most of these numbers mean little as physiology cannot be reduced to these metrics. But we try and I wondered how do we count a breath? Remember the cinematic days before hospital demise a cold mirror was a crude indicator of expiring breath.
This project will allow you to control someone through the internet using the MKR1000 and Electric Muscle Stimulation also known as EMS. Things used in this project Hardware components General Purpose Transistor NPN × 2 Arduino MKR1000 × 1 Icy Hot Smart Relief Back and Hip Starter Kit × 1 Female Pin Headers × 1
IoT based Patient Monitoring System using ESP8266 and Arduino Health monitoring is the major problem in today’s world. Due to lack of proper health monitoring, patient suffer from serious health issues. There are lots of IoT devices now days to monitor the health of patient over internet. Health experts are also taking advantage of these
