Research Focus

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.

  • Hardware Development for Sports and Fitness Application
  • Design and Implementation of Embedded Sensor Systems for Processing of Physiological and Biomechanical Signals

  • Activity Recognition and Event Detection in Table Tennis
