OsteoSense: an application for measuring the load on human bones and muscles during indoor and outdoor training and rehabilitation
Project description: OsteoSense uses miniature sensors to record human movement and assess the load on a person's bones and muscles, providing feedback and expert guidance directly on a smartphone. The system is being tested by leading experts in Estonia and professional football and racing teams in the UK, offering a world-class solution for recording human movement and reporting bone load both indoors and outdoors.
Project objective: To develop a comprehensive solution for measuring the load applied to the skeletal and muscular systems: The ideal solution consists of three to four wearable sensors that can record and analyze the force exerted on the human body and the speed of force application in any type of load scenario.
Project result: The project resulted in two fully functional handheld devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. The devices are capable of clearly detecting and recording low-level noise associated with knee joint movement. The sensors developed as part of the project were used also to conduct tests on a parabolic flight organized by the European Space Agency.
