Check out the latest collaboration between the National Facility for Human-Robot Interaction Research (UNSW, USyd, UTS, St Vincent’s Hospital) and My Medic Watch! In this video, you’ll see the impact of the research testing and validating the accuracy of the My Medic Watch smartwatch algorithm.
The Facility is purpose-designed to host various experiments investigating how people interact with technological devices, including robots. State-of-the-art sensors are concealed in the experiment space allowing unobtrusive measurement of human physical attributes such as location and limb position. To launch their product and get regulatory approvals, My Medic Watch utilised the Facility and the researchers* to ensure that its algorithm could accurately detect and report falls in real-time using a range of smartwatches.
Through extensive testing and analysis in the world-class Facility, the team demonstrated the accuracy and reliability of the new algorithm, opening up a world of possibilities for the future of wearable technology and healthcare.
Join us on this exciting journey as we explore the collaboration that has the potential to revolutionise the way we think about smartwatch technology.
