A Singaporean smart health smart health connected object to help Parkinson's patients
[ad_1]
A team of Singaporean students has been awarded the Intel Invent 50 contest. Their project? A portable smart health smart health connected object that makes life easier for patients with Parkinson's disease.
The primary goal for many smart health connected objects is to make life easier for their users. In this line is the smart health smart health connected object created by a team of students from the National University of Singapore (NUS). Their project allowed them to win $ 10,000 from Singapore in the Invent 50 contest, organized by Intel. Between 6,000 and 8,000 people suffer from Parkinson's disease in Singapore. This degenerative disease affects the nerve centers of patients, leading to loss of balance and falls.
The smart health smart health connected object of the PD Loggers team detects a potential fall before it happens, prompting the user to modify his behavior (for example, by sitting down). In just a few months, the young team has developed a device that could be marketed. This is actually a batch of sensors to be placed on the body of the patient, collecting different data and analyzing them to deduce the phases at risk. If there is no announced marketing date, Intel's help could help the team accelerate product development.
