With the aging population and rising healthcare costs, wearable monitoring is gaining importance. The motion artifact affecting dry electrodes one of main challenges preventing widespread use systems. In this paper we investigate ways making a textile electrode more resilient against artifact. Our aim to study effects pressure exerted onto electrode, inserting padding between applied electrode. We measure real time electrode-skin interface impedance, ECG from two channels, related surface...
Mosquitoes are vectors for many diseases such as malaria. Insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying of insecticides the principal malaria vector control tools used to prevent in tropics. Other interventions aim at reducing man-vector contact. For example, house screening provides additive or synergistic effects other implemented measures. We commercial screen materials made polyester, polyethylene polypropylene design novel mosquito screens that provide remarkable additional...
Abstract Background A three-dimensional window screen (3D-Screen) has been developed to create a double-screen trap (3D-WDST), effectively capturing and preventing the escape of mosquitoes. 2015 laboratory study demonstrated 3D-Screen's efficacy, 92% mosquitoes in setup during wind tunnel assays. To further evaluate its effectiveness, phase II experimental hut trials were conducted Muheza, Tanzania. Methods Three carried out between 2016 2017. Trial I tested two versions 3D-WDST huts with...
