Title: Mobile Health System to Support Disease Diagnosis using Walking Movements

Host: University of Nevada Las Vegas

Desc: The ultimate objective of this project is to develop a Disease Diagnosis Supporter System (D2S2) to support disease diagnosis using walking movements. Some diseases, such as mild Traumatic brain injury (mTBI), cognitive deficits, vision problems, Alzheimer's, are difficult to diagnose without medical equipment such as eye-link, MRI, CT, and force plate. Additionally, the patients don't receive proper treatments in time because these diseases generally don't present any visible or external wounds such as bleeding or fracture. So, it causes a second injury like accidental falls to patients as they lose body balance. So, the D2S2 can reduce such falls by sending real-time alerts to its users when they are out of balance Users also can self-diagnose their body balance by using the Disease Diagnosis Supporter (D2S) mobile application that we developed and avoid a possible second injury.
