Wearable-based motion sensing solutions are capable of automatically detecting and tracking individual smoking puffs and/or episodes to aid the users in their journey of smoking cessation. But they are either obtrusive to use, perform with a low accuracy, or have questionable ability of running fully on a low-power device like a smartwatch, all affecting their widespread adoption. We propose 'CigTrak', a novel pipeline for an accurate smoking puff and episode detection using 6-DoF motion sensor on a smartwatch.

In this paper, viability of low-cost off-the-shelf Piezoelectric ceramic disc elements is explored for an insole-based gait monitoring system, `PI-Sole' (Piezo In-Sole). Piezoelectric elements can sense dynamic changes in pressure in a closed-loop environment with good sensitivity and a wide measurement range. In this paper, method to enable these elements to continuously sense plantar pressure while walking is proposed, making them a very cost-efficient alternative to the widely used Force Sensing Resistors (FSR) and pressure plates for monitoring human gait.

Ileosigmoid knotting, also known as compound volvulus or double Volvulus, is a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction. In this condition the ileum wraps around the base of the sigmoid colon and forms a knot. The condition is serious, generally progressing rapidly to gangrene of both ileum and sigmoid colon.
