AT-BAN | Activity Tracking with Body Area Network

Your personal life-long health and safety trainer

The Activity Tracking Body Area Network (AT-BAN) system is a novel wearable system for recording the motion (and other physiological information) of a trainee or on-site worker and processing that data to infer valuable information about the sustainability of the worker's activity with regard to health and safety. The AT-BAN system is being developed with the valuable support of Edinburgh College and Forth Valley College.
