PRE-SEED REFORM
The Pre-Seed REFORM project focused on the early research, design, and technical validation of a wearable biofeedback system for posture and movement monitoring.
The project laid the foundations for the REFORM system by validating core concepts, system architecture, and initial use cases.
Project Overview
Pre-Seed REFORM was an early-stage research and innovation project aimed at exploring the feasibility of a wearable sensing solution for real-time biomechanical monitoring.
The project investigated how wearable sensors, data acquisition, and software processing could be combined into a coherent system capable of supporting posture awareness, movement analysis, and corrective feedback.
Project Objectives
Explore the technical feasibility of a wearable biofeedback system
Define the initial system architecture (hardware and software)
Identify suitable sensing technologies for movement and posture monitoring
Validate early use cases through laboratory testing and prototyping
Establish a foundation for further R&D and scale-up activities
Technical Scope
The Pre-Seed REFORM project covered both hardware and software exploration.
On the hardware side, the project examined wearable sensor configurations suitable for capturing body movement and muscle activity. On the software side, it focused on data acquisition, signal processing, and visualization concepts required to transform raw sensor data into meaningful feedback.
- Wearable sensing concepts (e.g. motion and physiological signals)
- Data acquisition and synchronization
- Early signal processing and analysis pipelines
- Conceptual user interface and feedback mechanisms
Results & Outcomes
The Pre-Seed REFORM project successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed system concept.
