The Wearable Instruments and Sensing Laboratory (WISe Lab), led by Mehmet Kaya and Peshala Gamage, is advancing wearable health technology through two NIH-funded projects focused on cardiovascular and pain monitoring.
The first project is developing a wearable, machine-learning-based system to estimate heart function—such as ejection fraction and stroke volume—using subtle 3D chest vibrations. In collaboration with Mayo Clinic cardiologists, this innovation could transform heart failure monitoring beyond clinical settings.
In partnership with industry through an NIH STTR grant, the WISe Lab is also developing Pain Vitals, a chest-worn, AI-powered biosensor providing an objective measure of pain to improve dosing precision and patient safety.
Together, these projects highlight Florida Tech’s growing leadership in translational biomedical innovation.
