Learn how Nilanjan Banerjee from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, uses the Lab of Things as the platform to interconnect wearable sensors like gloves, headbands, and capacitive sensors built into clothing, bedsheets, and wheelchair pads across many homes, and capture/monitor subtle motions such as finger twitching, lower arm rotation and head movements among paralysis patients. With the ultimate goal of enabling paralysis patients the ability to control appliances in a caregiver and home setting.
