COVID Recovery & Rehabilitation
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab's COVID Unit is prepared to treat the unique rehabilitative needs of patients recovering from COVID illiness.
Condition
Coronavirus sensor you stick at the top of your chest can track symptoms
Dr. Arun Jayaraman, Director of Max Näder Center for Rehabilitation Technologies and Outcomes research at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is leading AI based algorithm development for new COVID sensors. These sensors sense the nature, times and duration of coughing, body temperature. These sensors offer symptom detection and conveying it to the medical teams to aid in treatment and care plan.

Wearable sensor to monitor and track COVID-19-like signs and symptoms to develop better care strategies for COVID-19 pandemic
The purpose of the study is to use wearable sensors to gather information on COVID-19 like signs and symptoms. This information will be used to monitor and track changes to signs and symptoms. The sensor will collect acceleration signals from throat/chest, body temperature and heart rate. The sensor data will be wirelessly transferred to HIPAA compliant servers, where the advanced machine learning programs will analyze and summarize the nature, times and duration of cough, body temperature and heart rate.
The study is currently enrolling participants:
• Have had or currently experiencing COVID-19 like signs and symptoms
• Or may be asked to be a control participant.
• Ages 18-95 years

Research Project
Northwestern, AbilityLab at work on COVID detection device
Created by teams at Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, this wireless sensor adheres to the base of the neck, continuously measures body temperature, heart rate and respiratory activity, including irregular breathing. The researchers from the Max Näder center for Rehabilitation Technologies and Outcomes Research lab are developing AI based algorithms to automatically detect the signs and symptoms of COVID-19.
