We were invited to participate at IEEE-EMBS International conference on biomedical and health informatics (BHI’22) jointly organised with the 17TH IEEE-EMBS international conference on wearable and implantable body sensor networks (BSN’22) in Ioannina (Greece). BHI-BSN 2022 opening session Statistics of the conferences: >350 participants 367 (BHI)+63 (BSN) = 430 (4 page regular papers submitted) 123 (BHI)+12 (BSN) = 135 (1 page abstracts submitted) 38 (BHI) (1 page special se

This summer we improved and tested the new vest made to support the ASICS harness, with positive results. WELMO vest The design of the vest is based on a multilayered structure. Each layer is conceived for a specific functionality, the inner region for the signals acquisition is in contact with the body skin, the outer region for the communication and the fitting of the sensors on the body. Pressure of the sensors on the skin is enhanced by several patches distributed on

We were invited to participate at the SINTEC summer school with WELMO, along with many other European-funded projects, in order to discover all the opportunities offered by the wearable electronics market. WELMO team The aim of the project was to illustrate how a classic PCB technology can be transformed into an extensible smart patch and how this sensor can communicate with the latest IoT technologies. Furthermore, it was explained how this innovative research can be useful

After our first plenary on Corfu, on May 17th we met in the historic Palazzo Trissino al Corso, located in the center of Vicenza. Lisa Napolitano (AAWA) wearing VR goggles and visiting the virtual recreation of Vicenza in the control room. Goal of the meeting - Do an XR4DRAMA risk/disaster prevention and management test run. DAY 1 - Overview of the different components of the project and presentation of the various technologies that make up the XR4DRAMA platform and help its

After 17 months of working remotely, the seven teams (based in four countries) went to Corfu for a workshop and consortium meeting, in the first week of May, 2022. Axel Primavesi, Farina Hamann (DW) and Spyros Symeonidis (CERTH) making preparations for the media production pilot. Prototype development - project management and project exploitation will be subject of a number of upcoming deliverables. Here's a recap of the activities during our first “real” get-together and DW’

March 8-11 2022, Bormio(Italy) A session of field trials has been carried out to measure physiological and psychological reaction of first responders during simulated mountain rescue operations. Data has been collected by SixthSense Alpha prototype and reference measurement systems, used as gold standards, worn by rescuers during the session. Duration of physiological test: minimum 60 min SixthSense: the crew preparing for the mission The Alpha prototipe includes: SMARTEX (ga

Kicked off in November 2020, the EU-funded XR4DRAMA project recently wrapped up its first year – with a number of impressive technical achievements successfully implemented by a Pan-European consortium. XRDRAMA – which resolves to "Extended Reality For Disaster Management And Media Planning" – aims to build digital situation awareness (SA) tools for basically any organization that sends staff to unfamiliar, unsteady, or unsafe locations. Technical achievements so far During t
