Grant: Collaborative Research and Development Grants
University of Regina
$26,450.00
Biological sensor technology for safety and security
FY 2013-14
Summary
The primary purpose of this NSERC - Collaborative Research and Development Grant (CRD) is to conductscientific research to develop a commercially available physiological biosensor to monitor cardiac functionduring physical exertion in humans under harsh environmental conditions (eg. hypoxia, high temperature,extreme exercise) and in ""harms way"" (military operations, safety and security, mining, oil and gas industry,and other stressful occupations). The physiological biosensor will be integrated into a remote tracking platformand will use tri-axial accelerometer technology to record the seismic activity of the heart. This technique iscalled seismocardiography (SCG), and it has the ability to record all mechanical events of the cardiac cycle ofthe heart. This technology can also be used in applied and clinical biomedical research. This research projectwill be conducted in the faculties of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina, and inComputer Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. The biosensor will be made in Canada and soldcommercially globally.
