Led by Prof. D. De Venuto Activity: Swallowable Biodegradable Endoradiosonde Printed in Gold on PCL Collaboration with: University of Glasgow (UK) Project: RES NOVAE (2012 – 2015, PON) Key Results The ERS can measure the sensor output frequency with an INL error of 0.4%, a sensitivity Δf/ΔP = -6.12MHz/kPa, occupies a volume of 1mm3 and consumes, respectively, 400uW and 360uW for dynamic and static power. Endoradiosonde Architecture The Printing Technique The ERS (pressure sensor to be swallowed or implanted) is made up by the pressure sensor, the transponder (data acquisition unit - DAQ - and RF front end) and a LC tank tuned at 900MHz. The transponder has been designed in 0.35um AMS technology. The pressure sensitive device is a tunable capacitor which performs a linear variation depending on the pressure with a sensitivity (ΔC/ΔP) of 0.4 pF/KPa The printing technique allows to deposit very thin film of gold (30 um) on a flexible, biodegradable and biocompatible substrate called Polycaprolactone (PCL) 66 66

Led by Prof. D. De Venuto Activity: Remote Neuro-Cognitive Impairment Sensing by P300 Characterization Collaboration with: University of Bari (Neuroscience Dept.) Projects: PERSON ( , Regional Cluster), DIABESITY ( , Regional Cluster) Key Results The developed t-RIDE method shows that P300 amplitude ranges (3.6uV – 11uV), latencies (280ms-390ms) and frontal-cortex spatial evidence (Pz, Fz, Cz) fully match the literature references. A Game for the Diagnosis : the Domestic Platform The P300: A Biomarker for Neuro-Diagnosis The mobile health system consists of custom fast processing algorithm for P300 characterization, a plag and play platform (game based) for the cognitive test and a direct link between patient and physician. The system is made up by: the patient and the medical parts. The novel method for P300 analysis overcomes the limitations of the previous approaches (ICA; PCA; grand average; etc.). The P300 brain wave is a positive deflection in the human event-related potentials (ERPs) and occurs when the subject is cognitively engaged in the task of detecting target stimuli. The P300 is widely used in medical centers for neuro-cognitive detection, diagnosis and monitoring 67 67

De Venuto Activity: A Cyber-Physical System for Fall Prevention by Cortico-muscular Coupling Detection Collaboration with: University of California at Berkeley (US), University of Bari (Neuroscience Dept.) Projects: INNOVAALAB (2014 – 2015, Regional Living Lab) European Project ENoLL 2016 Motivations: EEG and EMG The Cyber-Physical System Key Results When a EMG contraction a time-frequency analysis on EEG signal is performed. The goal is the detection of MRPs: if MRPs are detected, the movement is considered intentional. Otherwise a critical situation is detected Real time acquisitions and elaborations of synchronized EEG/EMG data for involuntary and dangerous movements detections. Applications : Medical diagnostic in neurodegenerative diseases and health-care systems for home assistance. Falls preventions by detection of involuntary movements and bio-feedback to control them Voluntary movements are preceded Movement Related Potentials (MPS) in the motor area of the brain, i.e. Bereitschaftspotential-BP-(2-5 Hz), µ-rhythm ( Hz) and β-rhythm (13-30 Hz).
