Shimmer Research would like to invite attendees at this year’s EMBC conference to join us as we host a session on wearable wireless sensing. Designed as a workshop, the session is open to all attendees that have registered for the conference, with no additional registration/payment required.

• When:              13.00 – 14.30, Wednesday, August 31, 2011
• Where:             Mariott 3^rd Floor, Berkeley

What can I expect?

Attendees can expect to be introduced to the Shimmer platform, along with its technical and sensing capabilities. A live demonstration of building and customizing an application will be given – including programming, application development tools, and data logging applications.

Shimmer partner – Biosensics LLC- will present and discuss their transition from research into commercialization based on a unique activity classification solution (PAMSys) developed on the shimmer platform. PAMSys (Physical Activity Monitoring System) provides a complete and comprehensive map of individuals’ physical activity including detailed posture classification (sitting, standing, walking, lying).

Brief outline of the Shimmer Session:

• Introduction
  • Technical overview and sensing capabilities
• Wireless Sensing
  • How to program the Shimmer
  • Demonstration of application development tools
  • Example applications
  • Data logging applications
• Commercialization – Biosensics LLC
• Questions from the floor

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you at the workshop
