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）：高级医疗电子公司建议开发一个无线可穿戴系统，以评估依从性研究方案互补和替代医学（CAM）心身干预措施。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轮廓进行比较，以评估遵守身体运动方案，例如瑜伽，冥想姿势和太极拳。使用低功率标准化的数字无线个人区域网络技术，将从可穿戴传感器实时收集数据。低成本的高精度微型运动跟踪传感器（加速度计和陀螺仪）和标准化的个人区域网络技术的最近商业可用性使得拟议的项目在技术上使该项目可行。最多可以在人体上佩戴多达七个小型无线传感器套件，以收集运动和其他生理参数，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度传感信息都会传输到记录其记录的手持计算机或智能手机（带有集成手机的手持计算机）。个人区域网络技术（例如蓝牙网络）现在已成为许多市售手持计算机和智能手机的标准配置。使用标准的无线网络解决方案将使研究人员可以投资一组传感器，这些传感器将与新的便携式计算和手机设备兼容，这将在未来的许多年中兼容。记录的运动数据会自动处理，并将其表征为可以直接将其与脚本协议进行比较的公认姿势和运动序列的列表。报告是从分析软件包自动生成的，该软件包呈现一个依从性索引，该索引表示为记录和脚本运动序列之间偏差数量的百分比。 II期项目将进一步开发传感器和软件，并进行人类研究。
