Researching for sensorization and AI technologies in order to detect and evaluate postural alterations and motor disability.
PLAISENS (Sensorized Intelligent Platform) will investigate the application of 4.0 technologies for the future development of a platform that healthcare providers can use for the early diagnosis, evaluation and monitoring of patients, especially the child and adolescent population, with motor disabilities and/or postural alterations.
The project aims to explore a technological solution based on the joint use of electronic printing, sensors and artificial intelligence as a demonstrator of the technology’s capabilities.
PLAISENS will investigate how to provide a reliable tool to evaluate the effectiveness and effects of specific therapeutic actions at specific times, based on increasing the symmetries in the supports to improve the patients’ situation.
The application of technologies based on capacitive and resistive sensors will be studied, which will be printed using electronic printing technologies to allow devices to be manufactured in a simple and cheap way in the future, in order to be able to deploy the use of these devices in the socio-health environment.
In addition, the tool aims to support professionals in evaluating the effects of therapies on the patient. To do this, the implementation of a data comparison system will be analyzed using various tools (big data, machine learning, neural networks,…) generating the algorithms that allow the desired services to be provided and that in the future make the implementation of AI possible.
The Cluster Innovative Solutions for Independent Living (SIVI) coordinates this project, which has the participation of our partners ASPACE Salamanca, Stirling Center, Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid and Ortopedia CETEO, as well as the Functional Print Cluster and the company NUFESA Electronics.
