Wearable Sensors
Between 2012 and 2017, wearable health
and fitness device shipments will increase
by 552% [].
From these, 18.2m will be health sensors
with a revenue of $16.3 billion.
From 100 wearable sensors analysed, []
over half are focused on self-management,
prevention and general wellness.

In 2010
in EU, 38% of the population is said to be affected by a mental disorder
each year
(Wittchen, H. U., et al. "The size and burden of mental disorders and other disorders of the brain in Europe 2010." European
Neuropsychopharmacology 21.9 (2011): 655-679)

Current Work
Focus on the signal quality acquired by a commercial wearable EEG
device and on whether the study can provide indications that EEG
features are related to different levels of mental workload
Working memory is a suitable indicator of mental workload in office
scenarios
