Monitoring of functional disability in ALS disease with mobile sensing
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that leads to ever-increasing difficulties in mobility, speech and respiratory ability. This project builds a framework for monitoring ALS patients based on wearable signals to detect changes in their behaviour. These could be related to their mobility patterns, fall detection, questionnaires on functional scales (e.g. ability to eat, climb stairs, etc.), or respiratory data (based on a wearable chest band or portable spirometer). The information collected is an asset for both caregivers and clinics, who can adjust medication and appointments accordingly.
