Measuring fall risk of the elderly with IMU sensors by developing a Convolutional Neural Network

The combination of the high number and the consequences of falls in older adults led to the development of fall risk assessments; non-sensor-based and sensor-based. Multiple studies used ML for older adults' fall risk prediction using raw IMU data. This study's objective was to develop a DL algorithm that predicts the fall risk of people living...

A hybrid inertial sensor for measuring absolute displacement

Vibrations can be a limiting factor in systems working with nanometer precision. Inertial sensors are used to measure these vibrations. This thesis presents a hybrid inertial sensor using both a displacement and velocity measurement on a single mass-spring system. The measurements are combined into one output of absolute displacement. A...
