New show in the Visitorcenter: an extremely discreet voice assistant

The Bodyguard voice assistant developed at the iHomeLab protects the privacy by processing voice commands in the local home network instead of in the cloud, as is usually the case. The assistant also understands Swiss German and can be seen at a guided Tour at the iHomeLab.

Sorthodisc - Microfluidic sensing technology and sorting for isolation of stem cells for intervertebral disc therapy.

Label-free Electrical Impedance Cell Sorting validated on the Clinical Application for sorting rare Progenitor Cells from human Intervertebral Disc Tissue for Development of Cell Therapy

Projektbild Precarrhd

Predicting cardiac arrhythmias with AI and digital biomarkers

Dr. Gil Sharvit will give a presentation at the 2nd Lucerne Research Symposium on his research in the PRECARRHD project, which is investigating how an AI-based algorithm can be used to achieve early detection of atrial fibrillation. Thanks to such a diagnostic method, strokes could be prevented in the future.

Künstliche Intelligenz hilft, Parkinson-Medikamente richtig zu dosieren

Artificial intelligence helps to dose Parkinson's medication correctly

The iHomeLab has developed a sensor system and a modified smart watch that help to find the right dosage for Parkinson's medication.

Evismo

Preventing stroke thanks to early detection of cardiac arrhythmias with artificial intelligence

The Swiss eHealth start-up evismo and the iHomeLab of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts are jointly developing algorithms to detect and predict cardiac arrhythmias earlier.

MM HiStory

iHomeLab stores life stories in digital "time capsules"

The iHomeLab has launched the HiStory project. The goal: older people should be better integrated into social life by telling and digitally recording their life stories.

Sprachassistenten in der Pflege

How can intelligent voice assistants be used in care?

Our researchers have investigated this question in a paper. What challenges could arise in recognising special dialects, in questions of confidentiality or in the integration into existing care documentation systems?
