Design and implementation of embedded sensors for processing of physiological and biomechanical signals

The measurement of physiological and biomechanical signals will play an increasingly important role in the future. This includes, for instance, the accompaniment of patients during their therapy, the support of elderly people in different situations of life and the monitoring of athletes during training and competition.

Starting from this situation embedded sensor modules are designed and implemented in hardware. The objective is to integrate this embedded sensor modules in clothing and equipment and to evaluate these modules with the help of wireless connected devices. This allows to monitor the activity and health of patients in the medical field, as well as to record and to improve the fitness during sportive exercises.

The aim of this research project is the development of portable sensor systems and sensor modules, which can be integrated into body clothing, shoes and equipment. The focus here is the development of different sensor nodes with appropriate sensory and electronical components as well as the integration of wireless data and power transmission options, suitable for sports and fitness applications.
