Integrating Ultrasound Technology into a Fitness Tracking Device (1M, 2 B/S)
From iis-projects
Contents
Short Description
Ultrasound is a key technology in healthcare, and it is being explored for non-invasive, wearable, continuous monitoring of vital signs. However, its widespread adoption in this scenario is still hindered by the size, complexity, and power consumption of current devices. Moreover, such an application demands adaptability to human anatomy, which is hard to achieve with current transducer technology. In this work, we develop strategies and prototypes to advance ultrasound to a wrist-worn application, e.g. for monitoring vital signs.
