Galvanic skin response (GSR), is a physiological measure that can be used to monitor and assess pain. It measures the body’s involuntary, or autonomic, response to a painful stimulus through measuring the electrical conductance changes in the skin caused by sweat gland activity. As a future research project, the Extrength group aims to apply optimal localized pressure to the area of back pain by adding a GSR sensor to the Extrength belt, and collecting the resulting information at the beginning of the air cushions’ activation. By collecting GSR sensor data and transferring it to AI and ML, appropriate feedback can be obtained to reduce or increase the pressure of the cushions. This project can provide the operation of the Extrength belt with a lower error rate and greater comfort for the patient.
