Wearable ultrasound probe enables on-device hand and wrist motion tracking

Researchers have developed a novel framework for tracking hand and wrist kinematics using wearable A-mode ultrasound technology. This system, named WULPUS, employs a compact convolutional neural network that can perform calculations directly on the probe, reducing the need for external devices. The system achieves low power consumption and latency, enabling extended continuous use and significantly reducing wireless bandwidth requirements. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates on-device AI inference for kinematic tracking, potentially enabling more integrated and efficient wearable health monitoring systems.

    Towards Whole Hand and Wrist Kinematic Tracking with a Wearable A-Mode Ultrasound Probe

    A-mode ultrasound (US) has emerged as a promising modality for hand and wrist motion tracking. Prior works have mainly addressed static gesture classification or regression of a few degrees of freedom (DoFs), typically relying on non-wearable systems and external computing device…
