Technology allows to bring the measurement quality of sedentary optical bio-mechanical labs, into a normal daily environment in the form of an unnoticeable "Second Skin"-like patch.
About
The plan is to move in three phases: The first application (Sports Kit) is oriented towards sports and serves also as bridge to the accelero-meter users (hence educating the market) and is a Sensor Fusion Concept combing 3rd generation accelero's with the polymer sensor tech. Because we solve the acceleror blind spots (yellow blocks in the graph) We create the possibility to enhance mobile measurements to such an extent that for the first time a real Medical level Human Body Motion Capturing wearable device becomes a reality i.e. Today a lot of foggy argumentation is going around concerning Wearable Tech-based Medical Level Human Body Motion Capturing, blurring the distinction between "Are you more or less moving a bit and how does that eventually improve your overall health over time..." versus "How did your spine move in 3D high-definition over a period of 5 days and which relevant & detailed medical conclusions can we deduce from this data set...". In a well organised Big Data Healthcare system governed by a strict data quality assurance system a clean distinction could be made between systems providing precise & medically relevant Human Body Capturing Measurements, based on such paramount acquisition requirements as: 1. Registration device must be securely locked on or in the body during the monitoring period. If not then measurements are severely compromised due to shifting, disconnecting & inadequate re-applying. 2. Hyper accuracy & sensitivity i.e. a granulation which maps body motion at a level where pathologies impairing movement, are progressing unnoticeable (tiny), or following typical patterns and the generic information obtained by fitness trackers. Hence allowing to correlate pathologies based on truly Medical Level Human Body Capturing Measurements. This concept has gained us the IDTechEx-award "Best New Wearable Technology Device 2015" in Berlin.
Key Benefits
We create the possibility to enhance mobile measurements to such an extent that for the first time a real Medical level Human Body Motion Capturing wearable device becomes a reality.
Applications
So one of our first target use would be post-arthroplasty follow-up (patients having received a knee- or hip prosthesis. The final application of the platform would be the autonomous Multi Purpose Back Sensor, which allows to obtain high def 3D information of back and spine in normal daily environments.
