Wearable Sensing Glove
Wearable Sensing Glove
2020-2021
During graduate school, I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant for Professor Yeo at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My graduate project was to build a wearable sensing glove to assist individuals with nerve damage in their hands. This nerve damage prevented them from perceiving proprioceptive feedback. To help these patients, I developed a wearable sensing glove with pressure, temperature, and strain sensors to measure fingertip contact pressure, fingertip contact temperature, and finger flexion. I was responsible for all aspects of the project: sensor fabrication, system assembly, electronics design, circuit board design, firmware development, and BLE data transfer.
