Knee injuries and other minor or chronic knee conditions are prevalent. Monitoring rehabilitation or medication progress in knee treatment is time-consuming, expensive, and requires regular imaging, follow-ups, and several tests. However, knee health can be monitored and “joint health score” calculated remotely with wearable sensors that pick up sound, swelling, temperature and motion. Packaging these sensors into a wearable brace is vital for monitoring the knee.

Author: Herbert M. Aumann; Margery K. Aumann; Nuri W. Emanetoglu
Published in: IEEE Sensors Letters (Volume: 5, Issue: 3, March 2021)
Summary Contributed by:  Anupama
The two-faced sensor system, JANUS, is designed to help beekeepers track bee activities like ‘Swarming’ and ‘Robbing’. The outward-looking Doppler radar monitors the bee flights while the inward-looking piezoelectric transducer senses the vibrations made by bees inside the hive. Researchers were able to use the level, duration and correlation between the two sensor signals to provide sufficient indication about different types of bee activity.

Published in: IEEE Sensors Journal (Volume: 20, Issue: 9, May 2020)
In recent years, Micro-processor controlled prosthetic legs (MPCPL) are being preferred over conventional prosthetics because they use actuators to replace missing joint function and hence are more functional. Due to this the user’s walking gait and metabolic energy consumption can be imitated very well. The state-of-the-art MPCPL takes commands from the brain through muscles motion, converts that into the user’s gait intention and performs the locomotive motion based on the kinetics sensory system’s input. Very soon the comfort of the motion control will be complimented by taking inputs of eyes and ears to ensure gait further safer.
