Award to Northwestern University for developing wearable sensors and machine learning models to monitor stress and overeating in real-time to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Description
This project aims to develop and deploy machine learning algorithms on wearable devices to detect and predict overeating and stress in real-time, with the goal of preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study involves refining algorithms to detect stress using a Band-Aid-like device and overeating using an IR-enabled camera, testing in controlled and real-world settings, and personalizing models for individuals.
