Bluetooth Embedded System for Parkinson Study (C++ Firmware Coding)
C++ Coding for a low power SoC microcontroller wearable device that helps people with Parkinson's Disease to move. Duration approx. 6 months for Master Thesis or approx. 3 month for Bachelor Thesis.
People with Parkinson’s Disease may get locked in gait due an effect called freezing. To help them recovering their gait pattern, we have build a wearable low power device that generates a certain vibration pattern to stimulate each leg.

With your knowledge you will write the code for the microcontroller (nRF52832 from Nordic). The hardware has been built and tested already. You need to develope the firmware to run the device properly that we can start the study in a Rehabilitation Clinic soon. First we need a working setup that can be connected by wires. Optionally (primarily for the Master Thesis) the communication may be implemented later with the available Bluetooth interface.
