DyMo Technology Corp (DyMoTech) is a Vancouver engineering firm specialized in developing Health**Monitoring systems for heavy-duty machines to provide a maintenance schedule and prevent potential failures.**The company is active in mining Industry and through the close connection with the mining companies.**DyMoTech's team of specialists has acquired in-depth knowledge of this industry's requirement and points of**pain. The company is currently engaged in an R&D project to create a wearable intelligent drowsiness**prognosis System. Based on company's years of experiences there is a need in the mining industry for staff**fatigue and vital health signs monitoring systems. The lack of drowsiness monitoring and prognosis system in**mining industry can cause irrecoverable losses. Integrated intelligent prognosis system can be utilized in the**mining industry in order to save the operators life and expensive mining instruments. This Engage Plus**proposal is an extension of an earlier Engage Grant that was completed recently where we have conducted a**preliminary study to define the functionality of a wearable drowsiness prognosis hardware for this application.**A wearable cap with dry EEG sensors and related hardware which is used for collecting and transferring EEG**data to drowsiness detection algorithm is developed. A preliminary drowsiness detection idea with EEG signal**processing that included innovative a patentable concept was presented to the company. DyMoTech identified**significant added benefits to drowsiness prognosis system.**In the earlier Engage grant, the focus was on coming up with the functionally and features of a proper wearable**drowsiness prognosis hardware. So far, we have developed a proof of concept. The next task is to develop a**drowsiness detection algorithm to process this data and to arrive at a sensitive, accurate, with better response**time in comparison to the available drowsiness monitoring systems. Our ultimate aim of this study is, therefore,**to design a non-invasive and cost-effective wearable EEG system, which can measure brain activity and**provide drowsiness prognosis using the chaos theory methods.

DyMo Technology Corp (DyMoTech) 是一家温哥华工程公司，专门开发重型机器的健康**监控系统，以提供维护计划并防止潜在故障。**该公司活跃于采矿业，并通过与采矿业的密切联系采矿公司。**DyMoTech 的专家团队深入了解该行业的要求和**痛点。该公司目前正在进行一项研发项目，打造可穿戴式智能睡意预测系统。根据公司多年的经验，采矿业需要员工**疲劳和生命体征监测系统。采矿业缺乏困倦监测和预测系统可能会造成不可挽回的损失。集成智能预测系统可用于**采矿业，以节省操作员的生命和昂贵的采矿仪器。这个 Engage Plus** 提案是最近完成的早期 Engage Grant 的延伸，我们进行了一项**初步研究，以确定该应用的可穿戴睡意预测硬件的功能。**带有干 EEG 传感器的可穿戴帽子并开发了用于采集脑电**数据并将其传输至睡意检测算法的相关硬件。向该公司提出了利用脑电图信号**处理进行初步睡意检测的想法，其中包括创新的可专利概念。 DyMoTech 发现**睡意预测系统具有显着的附加优势。**在早期的 Engage 资助中，重点是提出适当的可穿戴**睡意预测硬件的功能和特性。到目前为止，我们已经开发了概念验证。下一个任务是开发睡意检测算法来处理这些数据，并与现有的睡意监测系统相比，获得灵敏、准确、更好的响应时间。因此，我们这项研究的最终目标是**设计一种非侵入性且具有成本效益的可穿戴脑电图系统，它可以测量大脑活动并**使用混沌理论方法提供睡意预测。
