U.S. Patent 6,561,992
|
Eberhart (left) and Worth
|
That’s not a watch on the table in front of Russell Eberhart,
chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at IUPUI, and Dr. Robert Worth, a neurological surgeon at the
IU Medical Center. It’s a device, called an actigraph, they’ve
developed to monitor and record patient movement data in assessing
certain neurological disorders, such as essential tremor and
Parkinson’s disease. The two have collaborated on the development
of a method and system which uses computational intelligence
to measure tremor, giving physicians a picture of how the disorder
changes over time and individual responses to medications. The
patent was issued to IU’s Advanced Technology Research Institute,
and Computelligence LLC has been formed to further develop applications.
