Towards Personalizing Assistive Technology in the Real-world

Hundreds of millions of people face mobility. Wearable sensing and assistive devices offer the potential of helping people overcome these challenges, but determining how to improve mobility or health metrics may be unclear. We will discuss several case studies involving developing and personalizing assistive technology for real-world use: a wearable system for tracking calories burned during exercise, a portable exoskeleton that personalizes assistance during real-world walking, and a navigation aid for people with impaired vision. These projects focus on developing technology that is low-cost and easily reproducible to work towards tools for underserved populations.
