The research in the Biomedical signals and systems group focuses on three main application areas, bone-conduction hearing with applications, digital health and neuro engineering. The purpose is to develop systems and methods that are tested in clinical trials.
The area, bone-conduction hearing, includes research for the development of hearing aids, hearing examination and vertigo diagnosis. The researchers investigate movement in humans and animal models that include analysis of kinematics and signals recorded from muscles (EMG), and also develop technology for advanced EMG recordings.
The research in the area digital health can be summarized with Care@Distance - Remote and prehospital Digital Health. A group of researchers develop methods and solutions to improve remote healthcare and prehospital/mobile care by using data fusion, clinical decision support including AI, telemedicine and innovative user interaction.
In the area of neuro engineering, the research focuses on surface and intramuscular electromyography, biomedical signal processing and modelling, bioelectrode development, neurophysiology of movement, sensorimotor development, and neural prosthesis control.
