Center of advanced technology
The Centre of Advanced Technology brings together professionals across different disciplines such as mathematics, physics, software or hardware engineering. The composition of the team allows embracing the processing of solutions from initial design, through the production of individual core components, programming custom applications to smart applications over the collected data.
Its aim is to apply the knowledge of the basic research into practice.
What UHK offers with emphasis on science and research in relation to Smart Solutions:
Some advanced technology research projects include:
- Creating a system for controlling smart environments - a system for reading data from sensors and controlling the environment according to specified rules. The system is designed to improve the quality of life.
- Contactless Measurement of Patient Vital Signs - a project aimed at helping hospital staff to detect complications early.
- Smart furniture - the use of advanced sensory technologies in common home furniture. This technology brings the possibility of detailed monitoring of vital signs without the need of a doctor's visit. The goal is also to detect the stress and fatigue of a person, which will help to adjust the environment.
- Development of a wearable sensor for monitoring vital signs, especially breathing, snoring and cough attacks. This solution, coupled with ambient air quality sensors, will enable monitoring and support of active people and patients with lung diseases.
- Wearable sensors for monitoring epileptic seizures in animals.
- The above-mentioned technologies are interconnected and a comprehensive system for user behaviour assessment and monitoring of changes in their activities is created. Monitoring these changes can help in early detection of mental or physical problems, which are often characterized by a change in behavioural stereotype.
