Out-of-Hospital Body Movement Data Collection Using E-Skin Sensors

Abstract

Out-of-hospital care plays an important role in improving the quality of chronic pain management. It could assist with early diagnosis, intervention and treatment and prevent unnecessary admission to hospitals, enabling efficient medical and healthcare resources. Recent advances in wearable sensors and mobile computing technology can considerably transform and benefit out-of-hospital care. In this work, we demonstrate an out-of-hospital body movement data collection mobile application which utilizes the cutting-edge nanotechnology-based E-Skin sensors. We also describe and demonstrate the real-world application of the E-Skin sensors to continuously detect, measure and analyze body movements.
