Our Project: MyoArmband Aging Adult Assistant

-Incorporates closed caption translation -teaches geriatrics useful phrases (6-7 common needs) -Hand sign to voice interface script -Position tracking and physical therapy monitoring (database that monitors)

Tools: -Myo armband

Useful terminology for hardware and software : SKD = software development kit (SDK or devkit) is typically a set of software development tools that allows the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar development platform

EMG = Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract. An EMG translates these signals into graphs, sounds or numerical values that a specialist interprets

IMU = An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes, sometimes also magnetometers.

Phrases for geriatrics

  1. I need to go to the bathroom
  2. I’m hungry
  3. I need Assistance
  4. I am not feeling well
  5. I need my medication
  6. I need to go somewhere

Scripting checklist: Starting from a program that recognizes a MYOarmband Range of motion check/personal fitness sync Closed caption translation script Poses to geriatric script Hand gesture to voice script
