Go team go! This group of students is working on a collaboration with the WIL, developing a smart bike to detect changes in trail conditions by crowd sourcing data collection.

Congratulations to lab members Tianna Jordening and Jason Foster, who graduated with their degrees in English/Psychology (Dual BS) and Electrical Engineering (MS) respectively. We wish them the best as they start their careers!
The Wearable Informatics Lab is 3D printing face shields for health care providers
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in conjunction with Dr. Tester’s FAB lab, Drs. Oman, Afghah, and Razi, the Wearable Informatics Lab is hosting 3D printing of face shields for local health care workers. Shown here, a prototype, is the printed head strap and a clear lamination sheet shield. The College of Engineering, Informatics, and Applied Sciences has generously donated to this cause, providing sufficient funds to kick start such efforts. If you too would like to donate to help support these face shields, please use our Disability and Rehab Engineering NAU Foundation link here: https://alumni.nau.edu/giving.aspx?fnds=04720. All funds donated between April 1 and July 30 will be used to support printing more shields.
Congratulations to the NAU Outstanding Senior Award recipients, especially our very own Felicity E!
Lab Hike – Up Humphrey’s Peak!
In our semi-regular tradition, we went on a lab hike today! As our lab members know, social cohesion is an important part of being in the Wearable Informatics Lab.
BHI-BSN 18
Congrats to Caitlin Barrett and Kristen Shryack on their presentations at BHI-BSN 2018! They both did a great job.
Progress on the ABRC Stroke Survivor Rehab Project
It took the entire lab to “raise the barn” in our 600 sq ft lab. As you see here, this steel structure is just the start of the support system for the ABRC Harness project. Thanks to the team effort and solid design (care of Felicity and Dustin), the frame went together in about 3 hours and was easier than prefab furniture!

Electrical Engineering Capstone Sequence
This year, Drs. Scott and Winfree will be co-teaching the Electrical Engineering Design sequence. Dr. Scott is looking forward to his retirement in May 2018. Thanks for the 27 years of commitment to NAU Dr. Scott!
Update: On September 27, 2017, Dr. Dave Scott passed away at the Flagstaff Medical Center. This was following his attendance on Friday in EE Capstone Lecture, his last lecture. We will miss you greatly Dr. Scott.
Annual Lab Hike
Today we did our annual lab hike. The adventure is always chooses by the lab. So where was it this year? The Flagstaff Lava River Caves!
From left to right, Noah Oliver, Felicity Escarzaga, Dr. Winfree, Dustin Branges. Caitlin Barrett was unable to attend this trip; next time.
Graduate Teaching Awards
Last night, Caitlin Barrett represented SICCS and the Wearable Informatics Lab for her outstanding achievements in teaching and research at the NAU Graduate Teaching Awards ceremony. Well done Caitlin.
