2. 1. A Sound Approach Toward a Mobility Aid for Blind and Low-Vision Individuals

   Author : Johan Isaksson-Daun; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Audomni; Blindness; Electronic travel aids; Desire of Use; DoU-MoB; DoUQ-MoB; Low vision; Mobility aids; Parrot-VR; Paitient-reported outcome measures; Sonification; Sensory substitution; Sensory supplementation; Virtual environments; Virtual reality; Visual impairment; Audomni; Blindhet; Electronic travel aids; Desire of Use; DoU-MoB; DoUQ-MoB; Kraftig synnedsättning; Förflyttningshjälpmedel; Orienteringshjälpmedel; Parrot-VR; Patient-reported outcome measures; Sonification; Sensory substitution; Sensory supplementation; Virtual environments; Virtual reality; Synnedsättning;

   Abstract : Reduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the mobility issues persist. READ MORE

4. 2. The Bone Conduction Implant (BCI) - Preclinical Studies, Technical Design and a Clinical Evaluation

   Author : Hamidreza Taghavi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bone conduction implant; Amplitude modulation; Bone anchored hearing aid; Radio frequency power amplifier and inductive link; Long-term implantation.; Low-power systems; Implanted transducer;

   Abstract : The Bone Conduction Implant (BCI) system has been developed as an alternative to the percutaneous bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) with the advantage that the skin is kept intact. The transducer is permanently implanted and attached to the skull via a flat surface contact to the temporal bone. READ MORE

5. 3. Embedded Controller for Artificial Limbs

   Author : Enzo Mastinu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
