Our aim is to develop innovative technology to Rosetta stone
improve their quality of life. From the beginning, one of the main lines of work has involved analysing and monitoring human movement. Inertial sensors have been developed that can detect falls and characterise different types of movement. This research has applications in monitoring and preventing the risk of falls in elderly people or people recovering from a fracture.Currently, the CETpD is participating in two research projects on Parkinson s disease: one Ministry of Health study and one European project. Parkinson s disease is the second most significant neurodegenerative disease in the world, after Alzheimer s. It affects over four million people. The first project is titled Monitoring the Mobility of Parkinson s Patients for Therapeutic Purposes (MOMOPA), and is focused on detecting and monitoring various stages in the activity of people with this disease. The other project is titled Home-Based Empowered Living for Parkinson s Disease Patients (HELP). Its objective is to design a system for administrating the exact drug dose that a patient needs for his or her daily activities by means of an infusion pump, which is controlled by a movement sensor.Medical check-ups at homeThere is growing demand for monitoring or periodically supervising people s state of health in any environment. In this field, the Instrumentation, Sensors and Rosetta Stone Spanish
Interfaces Group of the UPC s Department of Electronic Engineering in Castelldefels is working on the design of systems that enable patients vital signs to be monitored in domestic environments.The researcher Oscar Casas reminded us that not so long ago, houses were only equipped with a thermometer, and, with a bit of luck, a set of scales. Now it is not unusual for people to have portable equipment for measuring blood pressure or devices for testing blood sugar levels at home. Our aim is for this growing range of health systems for individual, rather than hospital, use to be available to everyone .The Group has designed a system for simultaneously detecting heart and respiratory rates that functions Rosetta Stone Spanish (Latin America) Levev 1-5
with force sensors, which are used to measure weight, even in conventional electronic scales. This domestic application can measure the aforementioned parameters faster than current systems, which tend to be uncomfortable for the patient due to the direct contact between the sensor and the skin and whose measurements can be affected by the movement of the sensor.
