\nTitle: EEG-based brain-computer interface for classifying imaginary hand movements.<\/strong>
\nThe goal of this project was to classify two imaginary hand movements using a machine learning (ML) model.
\nThe imaginary movements were recorded using an electroencephalogram (EEG). Furthermore, this classification was to be implemented in real-time.
\nFor this purpose, a hierarchical approach with two Support Vector Machine (SVM) models was trained and tested:
\n1. SVM 1 – discrimination between an imaginary movement and no movement (rest).
\n2. SVM 2 – discrimination between the two imaginary hand movements
\nThe combination of both models achieved a classification accuracy of 70.26%. Using the two offline trained classification models, real-time classification was implemented. Furthermore, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed that allows a graphical interpretation of the classification result in real-time.
\nThe further focus of this project will be on increasing the classification accuracy and the classification of further imaginary hand movements.
\nSubsequently, a robotic hand could be connected to the system, which is controlled by the feedback of the classification model.

\nTitle: Augmented Reality for Dental Applications: Enhancing Education and Treatment Planning<\/strong>
\nAugmented reality (AR) has the potential to improve dental education and treatment planning by providing a more immersive and interactive experience.
\nThe aim of this study was to develop an AR application that allows users to view and manipulate a 3D data set of a human skull using a smartphone or AR headset. The removal of teeth, changing their colour, or visualizing potential implants are application examples.
\nA CT data set of a human skull was imported into Blender software and prepared, e.g., redefining the object surface and separating each segment, for integration onto an AR platform using Unity. Tested on an Android smartphone and a Microsoft HoloLens, this project allowed users to view and manipulate teeth in 3D with views from different angles and perspectives, also to colourize the teeth in the HoloLens application
\nIn future, we plan to enhance the HoloLens application with additional features, such as providing a selection of different dental conditions with varying complexities that can be addressed through various treatment methods.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.fh-kaernten.at\/med-tech\/files\/2023\/05\/dental_AR_1.jpg\")

\nTitle: Needs-centred conceptual design and evaluation of an iOS-based telemonitoring system for patients with diabetes mellitus<\/strong>
\nThis project focuses on the elicitation, specification and validation of target group and stakeholder-specific requirements for implementing an application to store and organize data related to diabetes mellitus using different methods of Requirements Engineering.
\nIn the beginning, a target group analysis was carried out in order to adapt the application to be developed to the corresponding group of people. Using different methods, the requirements of the defined target group, as well as legal, normative and clinical requirements were collected and compared and prioritized in the subsequent Requirements Specification phase. The resulting System Specification was formulated in the form of a requirements catalogue as a basis for implementation. The prototype was tested with respect to the criteria of user-friendliness and usability in the course of the validation phase.
\nFinally, after interpreting the results, it could be stated that such a project requires structured planning of the entire requirements engineering process. In addition, the qualification of the requirements engineer is crucial. Regarding the feasibility, in the course of this work, which excluded studies with target groups for reasons of resources and time, it was noted that tests with end users contribute significantly to the frequency of use and should be implemented in practice in any case.
\nThe integration of such applications into the healthcare system and into the daily life of patients would greatly relieve the burden on those affected as well as the healthcare system, patients could be treated in a more targeted and individualized manner based on their disease progression, and deaths as a result of diabetes could be reduced to a minimum.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.fh-kaernten.at\/med-tech\/files\/2023\/05\/diabetes_telemonitoring_system.png\")
