Disease Detection Using Bio Robotics

Bio-robotics uses robots to emulate living organisms and apply robotics to medical and biological problems. One application is the DDX, which uses bio-robotic tests to measure a person's neuro-psychomotor conditions like reaction time, speed, strength, and tremor to detect motor neuron diseases such as Parkinson's disease or general health issues. The DDX aims to autonomously test patients to eliminate anxiety and allow them to relax, since stress can impact test results. It analyzes parameters to determine the possibility of motor neuron diseases, a group of disorders that destroy motor neurons controlling muscles.

Disease Detection

using Bio-Robotics
Bio-Robotics
Robots that emulate and simulate living
organism mechanically and chemically

Application of robotics to solve problems
regarding medical issues and biology
Main Application
The well known application of Disease
Detection using Bio-Robotics as of today
is the DDX which focuses on determining
if a person has a possibility of having a
Motor Neuron Disease.
Need for DDX
To measure the neuro-psychomotor
conditions of an individual to detect his/her
state of health, it is necessary to obtain set
of parameters such as reaction time,
speed, strength and tremor.
Need for DDX
The set of parameters obtained is useful
not only to diagnose neuro-motor
pathologies (e.g. Parkinson disease), but
also assess general everyday health or to
monitor sport performance.
Need for DDX
Autonomous testing is important, this is to
eliminate factors that may effect the result
for the testing such as anxiety. Since
autonomous testing will allow the patient
to have a better peace of mind while
testing is being done.
Motor Neuron Disease
MNDs are a group of progressive
neurological disorders that destroy motor
neurons, the cell that controls essential
voluntary muscle activity such as
speaking, walking, breathing, and
swallowing.
