Assessing the Feasibility of Multi-modal Biosensing for Monitoring Mobility and Cognition in Older Adults

Current health devices often overlook older users, who may face both health challenges and technology barriers. We are investigating the feasibility of wearable sensors to track posture, heart rate, and breathing, alongside a microneedle patch that collect body fluids to measure stress and inflammation markers. By combining this data, we aim to create an easy to use system that supports personalized, at home health monitoring for older adults.
