X-HEEP spreads its wings
What started out as a doctoral challenge has grown, and blossomed into a technology shared across universities around Europe. As a doctoral student in Prof. David Atienzaâs Embedded Systems Lab, Simone Machetti was tasked to build a modular, customizable, energy-efficient platform that could be shared with, and used by, different teams designing low-power devices. âI (…)
Cough-E – using edge technology to track coughs, discreetly
If a doctor wants to know how well a cough treatment is working, it can be useful to know exactly how frequently the patient has been coughing. However, a patient’s state of mind might influence the impression they have about this: whether they are happy or sad, tired or not, the patient’s estimate can never (…)
