Sensor technology is psychologists’ latest tool in tackling drug abuse
gigaom.feedsportal.com
on 05/10/2013
Excerpt: Summary: Psychologists are studying the use of sensor-based devices to help treat people with substance abuse problems. The same sensor technology used to track performance of elite athletes and monitor vital signs during childbirth is taking a turn as a tool for fighting drug abuse. At the American Telemedicine Association conference this week, a psychologist at the Baylor College of Medicine described how he’s using the Zephyr BioHarness wireless vital signals monitor to track cardiovascular and respiratory changes in cocaine users, according to Mobihealth News.... read the full post.

WeatherSignal wants to create crowdsourced weather reports using Android phone sensors
feedproxy.google.com
on 05/08/2013
Excerpt: If you’re a fan of OpenSignal, the mobile app that creates independent maps of mobile phone network coverage based on information crowdsourced from mobile phone users, then you may be interested to learn of a new standalone weather app the company’s currently trialing. WeatherSignal is available on Google Play from today, alongside its website, and is setting out to create a new way of collating weather data based on the native sensors on Android devices. Indeed, OpenSignal is calling this “the most ambitious weather crowdsourcing project ever,” but it’s worth noting here that it is still very early-stage. Given it relies on users installing the app, at launch it won’t be drawing on too much data.... read the full post.

How a helmet-mounted sensor could make youth sports safer
feedproxy.google.com
on 05/03/2013
Excerpt: Summary: As the buzz around football and sports-related brain injury grows, startup Brain Sentry plans to release a new sensor intended to monitor head impacts of young athletes. Like plenty of parents, Nathalie King, a mother in Annapolis, Md. , was worried about her 13-year-old son playing football because of the risk of concussions. As if the statistics aren’t alarming enough — it’s estimated that high school football players sustain between 43,000 and 67,000 concussions a year — a stream of lawsuits against the National Football League has placed the issue even more front and center before the sports and parenting worlds.... read the full post.

on 05/02/2013
Excerpt: It’s all but time for the market to receive a new Kinect, but that isn’t stopping hackers, developers, and companies alike from whacking around on the first version of motion-capture gadget, creating new use cases for its core technology. To that end, the following: The FaceMouse. Thomas Temme of Germany created the app, using Kinect for Windows, the PC-based version of the gadget; Kinect, as you will recall, launched first for the Xbox 360. It really is a mouse replacement. According to the developer, it has all the proper functions: “Control the cursor just by moving your head. Click by winking your eyes, scroll by raising and lowering your eyebrows. ” Hell yes. You can find out more about the guts of the program on Channel 9.... read the full post.

Jawbone Buys Sensor Start-Up for $110 Million
bits.blogs.nytimes.com
on 04/30/2013
Excerpt: Jawbone declined to comment on how much it paid for the acquisition, but a source close to the deal who was not authorized to speak on the record confirmed the price. “It’s a significant deal because it’s a significant opportunity,” said Hosain Rahman, the chief executive of Jawbone. “We looked at the market and what we thought about what we can do on our own or together with BodyMedia, and we found a deal acceptable to our shareholders. ”
BodyMedia has been making and selling activity tracking armbands that can monitor exercise and sleep behaviors since 1999. Mr. Rahman said he was most interested in the company’s expertise, and its robust trove of data about how people use and interact with their body monitors and sensors.... read the full post.

Excerpt: The IBESS system has been issued to more than 650 troops and will be installed on 42 vehicles in Afghanistan. "We now have a platform that's dramatically different from previous efforts to collect blast data because it's time-tagged, fully integrated between humans and vehicles, able to pinpoint an individual's location in a vehicle—and able to accept data from any sensor," says principal research scientists Shean Phelps.

Machine Sensor Data, APIs and Productivity
blog.mashery.com
on 04/18/2013
Excerpt: Exposing data through APIs is a well-worn topic. At Mashery, we talk about it literally all the time. But we usually focus on a company exposing its own data sets through APIs to inspire innovation. What we don’t talk about as often, is how whole industries can use APIs to increase productivity and efficiencies.
In the last few years there has been a spread of low-cost sensors that have made it possible to monitor a large variety of machines and machine-handled processes. There are now sensors tracking everything from jet engine turbines to fruit shipments.
According to a report by IDC, “The Digital Universe in 2020,” published this past December, machine-generated data will make up 42% of all data by 2020.... read the full post.
