Learn how a multi-disciplinary team comprised of Nilanjan Banerjee, Assistant Professor and Ryan Robucci, Assistant Professor, both from the computer science and electrical engineering department at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and Sandy McComb Waller, Associate Professor, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science at the University of Maryland School of Medicine uses the Lab of Things as the platform to interconnect wearable sensors like gloves, headbands, and capacitive sensors built into clothing, bedsheets, and wheelchair pads. These sensors capture/monitor subtle motions such as finger twitching, lower arm rotation, and head movements among paralysis patients, with the ultimate goal of providing these individuals the ability to control appliances in caregiving and home settings.
