  • Monitoring of Vital Signs in Emergencies

    A paper authored by DARTS Lab members Pramita Mitra and Chris Poellabauer and titled “Emergency Response in Smartphone-Based Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks” has been accepted into the International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (‘ICC’12 WS – MobiCHeSS’), which will take place in Ottawa, Canada, in June 2012. This paper describes our

  • Using Tablets to Assess Youth Concussions

    The consequences of concussions can be devastating and include immediate health problems (such as brain injuries), but also problems that develop over longer periods of time (e.g., post concussion syndromes, delayed death of brain cells, second impact syndrome, depression, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy). In this project (a collaboration between Prof. Patrick Flynn and the DARTS

  • Automated Colorimetric Test Strip Analysis
