Research and Development Engineer, Center for Advanced Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Federico Santa Maria Polytechnic University; Alejandro Bertin together with the company Doi familythey co-created smart chair It measures various things Symptoms that cause discomfort to people with disabilities .

Smart sitting DOI is the name of a smart chair with specific sensors that measure the health level of users with severe disabilities and difficulty in communicating verbally.

The system uses multiple sensors to measure pressure, humidity, and temperature, as well as assess vibration and tilt. Detect jerky movements such as those caused by epileptic seizures.

The collected data is sent to the cloud via Wi-Fi and processed by automatic algorithms every 3 seconds. This algorithm sends alerts to caregivers and family members of users with disabilities. Smart DOI platform .

“Uncomfort is usually caused by pressure on the same spot on the seat for a long time, or by temperature or humidity in certain parts of the disabled user’s body. Technology can help. Preventing a series of damages About the state of health of the person,” Alejandro Bertin said.

This project includes not only the creation of the website and application, but also the conception, design, and programming.

“The chair is customized to each user’s variables, and the algorithm works for the user. What we are looking for is pressure ulcers, necrotic tissue, morbidity, and ultimately the user/patient’s “It’s about reducing the likelihood of other life-threatening conditions occurring,” the engineer said.

Technology development is at the minimum viable product stage and the first stage has ended. At the end of 2023 .
