An Omani woman creates a smart bracelet that measures muscle effort
An Omani woman has created a smart bracelet to measure muscle effort, and this innovation is an alternative to the old medical devices used.
The Omani news agency quoted the Omani innovator Khawla bint Ali Al Amriya as saying: “The innovation contains two types of piezo sensors that work during the movement of the neck muscles and emit different vibrations while drinking, eating and speaking, and the individual can know the amount of water consumed, while the EMG sensor measures The nerve signals sent to the muscles to give readings of muscle activity, time and effort.
She added that all the sensors are connected to the phone device (Android or Windows) via Bluetooth or USB and are analyzed using a mathematical system.
She stated that the idea of innovation started since the Scientific Research Council announced the Falling Walls competition, as it is interested in the field of scientific research and development, noting that it searched for some ideas that lead it to progress, especially in the digital field.
She pointed out that in some hospitals, a wired device is used to measure muscle tension and is analyzed by a large computer, and the idea came to replace it with a bracelet that contains the same sensors used, but in modern ways.
She explained that the goal of this innovation is to measure muscle effort and predict the approximate amount of water and food consumed, hoping that the smart bracelet will reach all people interested in strengthening their muscles in sports, medical research, physical therapy and rehabilitation.
