Hypertension is the largest contributing risk factor to the global burden of chronic diseases and impacts over 1.1 billion individuals globally. To manage their condition, individuals must monitor their blood pressure frequently, but available measurement systems are cumbersome and inconvenient. At Pascal Labs, we have developed a wearable device for accurate and unobtrusive blood pressure measurement. Our system leverages unique hardware and deep learning models to improve the standard for blood pressure monitoring and ultimately make hypertension management more personalized and effective.

Strumio is a wearable glove that provides finger and wrist positioning feedback for novice guitar players. It uses real-time positioning feedback based on finger/wrist flexure to correct the user's technique and provide a tailored learning curriculum. The result is a fusion between the quality of professional music instruction and the convenience of at-home learning.

Suspension Control

As Electric Vehicles (EV) continue to accrue industry support, active suspension controls that take into the account their needs warrant design consideration. For commercial use there is already a complete design in the form of electric sedans and SUVs. But EV heavy duty vehicles such as trucks are not as widespread. Heavy duty EVs with in-wheel power sources motivate a design cycle with regards to its active control system. A PID controller will be tuned and simulated on a software level for this purpose, and if the results warrant it, more advanced methods for controller design will be considered.
