Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method includes measuring, using at least one sensor, strain on a nail plate of a subject, wherein the at least one sensor outputs a data stream corresponding to the measuring, communicating the data stream to a receiver, and interpreting, by the receiver, the data stream to determine a parameter of interest of the subject.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method comprising: measuring, using at least one sensor, strain on a nail plate of a subject, wherein the at least one sensor outputs a data stream corresponding to the measuring; communicating the data stream to a receiver; and interpreting, by the receiver, the data stream to determine a parameter of interest of the subject. 2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising mounting the at least one sensor to the nail plate of the subject. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter of interest is a state of the subject, the method further comprising tracking a progression of the state of the subject over time. 4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising learning a mapping from the data stream to the parameter of interest of the subject, where the mapping corresponds to a configuration of the strain gauge, and wherein the interpretation is performed using the mapping. 5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising learning one of a model and a classifier from known inputs of the subject and corresponding strain measurements, wherein the classifier is used in performing the interpretation of the data stream.
