DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advanced Medical Electronics Corporation proposes to develop a wireless wearable system to assess adherence to study protocols in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) mind-body interventions. The proposed system will utilize a suite of miniature wearable motion sensors to characterize limb and torso motion and compare it to stored reference profiles to evaluate adherence to body movement protocols such as yoga, meditation postures, and tai chi. Data will be collected in real time from wearable sensors using a low power standardized digital wireless personal area network technology. The recent commercial availability of low-cost high-precision miniature motion tracking sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) and standardized personal area networking technologies make the proposed project technically feasible at this time. Up to seven small wireless sensor packages may be worn on the body to collect motion and optionally other physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration rate, and blood oxygen concentration. The acceleration and angular rate sensing information at each sensor location is transmitted to a handheld computer or smartphone (a handheld computer with integrated cell phone) where it is recorded. Personal area networking technologies, such as the Bluetooth network, are now standard in many commercially available handheld computers and smartphones. The use of a standard wireless networking solution will allow a researcher to invest in a set of sensors that will be compatible with new portable computing and cell phone devices for many years to come. Recorded motion data are automatically processed and characterized into a list of recognized poses and movement sequences that can be directly compared to a scripted protocol. A report is automatically generated from the analysis software package presenting an adherence index expressed as percentage of the number of deviations between the recorded and scripted movement sequences. The phase II project will further develop the sensors and software, and conduct a human study.

描述（由申请人提供）：先进医疗电子公司提议开发一种无线可穿戴系统，以评估补充和替代医学（CAM）身心干预研究方案的遵守情况。所提出的系统将利用一套微型可穿戴运动传感器来表征肢体和躯干运动，并将其与存储的参考配置文件进行比较，以评估对瑜伽、冥想姿势和太极拳等身体运动协议的遵守情况。数据将使用低功耗标准化数字无线个人区域网络技术从可穿戴传感器实时收集。最近低成本高精度微型运动跟踪传感器（加速度计和陀螺仪）和标准化个域网技术的商业化使所提议的项目在技术上可行。最多可以将七个小型无线传感器包佩戴在身体上，以收集运动以及可选的其他生理参数，例如心率、呼吸率和血氧浓度。每个传感器位置的加速度和角速率感测信息被传输到手持计算机或智能手机（集成手机的手持计算机）并进行记录。蓝牙网络等个人区域网络技术现已成为许多商用手持电脑和智能手机的标准配置。标准无线网络解决方案的使用将使研究人员能够投资一组传感器，这些传感器将在未来许多年与新的便携式计算和手机设备兼容。记录的运动数据被自动处理并表征为可识别的姿势和运动序列列表，可以直接与脚本协议进行比较。分析软件包自动生成报告，显示依从性指数，以记录的运动序列和脚本化的运动序列之间的偏差数量的百分比表示。第二阶段项目将进一步开发传感器和软件，并进行人体研究。
