3. Tools to Take Control
1. Assessments
– Must focus on goals
– Need to understand the obstacles posed by ill-health, long
term conditions, disability, individual preferences, etc

4. Goals - A Personal Bucket List?
• Everything you want to achieve in life, dreams you want
to fulfil, and better experiences you desire.
• It’s a reminder of what we want to achieve in our time
on Planet Earth, so that instead of wasting time, we are
directing our energies into doing what matters to us.
– What would you do if you had unlimited time and money?
– What have you always wanted to do but have not done yet?
– Any countries, places or locations you want to visit?
– What do you want to see in person?
– What experiences do you want to have / feel?
– Are there any special moments you want to witness?
– What activities or skills do you want to learn or try out?
– What would you like to say/do together with other people?
– Are there any specific people you want to meet in person?

5. Obstacles and Issues
We can’t always do what we want to do
– there are challenges to overcome:
– Health issues
– Mobility restrictions
– Sensory deficits
– Cognitive/neurological
issues
– Communication
difficulties
Each challenge introduces
issues that need to be resolved

10. Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Measurement
• C8 MediSensors uses Raman
spectroscopy to non-invasively
detect glucose in blood by
shining light through the skin
and detecting changes in the
returning spectrum.
• Once the sensor is attached to
the skin it sends out regular
readings wirelessly

• Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre
Flash Glucose Monitoring
System has a sensor that’s
attached to the back of the
upper arm and a device that
copies and displays the
readings from the sensor.
• The sensor records blood
glucose levels every minute,
sampling the interstitial fluid
using a 5mm long filament
that penetrates the skin.
11. Contactless ECG Measurements
• The EPIC sensor can measure very
slight changes in the electric field around
it and doesn’t require gels or substrates
to enhance signal transmission, very
useful for ECG, EMG, and EEG
applications
• At a distance, the sensor can detect arm
gestures and body movement, also
useful for patient monitoring
• The imPulse device reads anyone’s
cardiac signals via the two EPIC thumb
pads and uses Bluetooth to interface
with smartphones and tablets for instant
ECG readout.
• Because of its low energy consumption,
the imPulse is promised to work for
months without requiring battery
changes
