ALS-inflicted victims have been increasing over the past few years with no cure to be found. This has lead to a proliferation of special-aid gadgets, which are tailored to improve the life conditions of those patients. This paper proposes a cost-efficient prototype for an intelligent aid-vehicle that works by interpreting the blinking movements of the ALS patient's eyes. The aid-vehicle is equipped with a pad that controls the motion of the motors, a virtual keyboard that can be used to type its user's thoughts via eye movement and blinking, and several sensors that aid to stop the vehicle whenever an obstacle is detected. The aid-vehicle is designed to be used indoors and outdoors. It is user-friendly, easy to manipulate, and offers ALS patients a mean to be less dependent on others, and a way to communicate with the outside world at an affordable price, with the hope that it would contribute to the longevity of ALS patients.","PeriodicalId":426559,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131951420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This state of fragility increases their vulnerability to fall incidents. Gait and balance assessment is usually performed in a clinical setting primarily after a fall. However, daily monitoring has become essential in order to evaluate the quality of gait and alert the patient in case of a risky situation. In this context, many systems have been developed that allow the extraction of specific features in the purpose to detect or predict a fall during daily activities. Footwear systems have been of interest for being non-intrusive and adequate for everyday use. This paper describes the design and development of our proposed force-sensing shoe for gait analysis and monitoring. The system is validated by the extraction of the weight and the Center of Pressure (CoP) trajectory of 10 young volunteers. Results have shown that minor adjustment need to be performed to obtain accurate measurement of the weight. A final design with new features has been sent for manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":426559,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117100861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An early detection of impaired conditions due to drowsiness would probably lead to a reduction in traffic accidents. In this matter, a lot of researches have already been done but although many detection devices are available on the market today, the validity of most of them needs to be confirmed. The aim of this project is to develop and test a model for detection and categorization of driver drowsiness by evaluating EOG data from a number of test subjects. The data were recorded using an advanced module system and used to simulate normal and sleepy drivers. The empirical mode decomposition method is proposed as a signal decomposition tool. This kind of methods is useful for the analysis of natural and non-stationary processes. Some parameters are calculated for each intrinsic mode function (IMF). EMD is proved to be adaptive and highly efficient in the analysis of such signals and the proposed parameters provided significant differences between normal and sleepy status.","PeriodicalId":426559,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114827810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
