We did not have lab this week, so we spent our time getting in our last bit of traveling. We went to Kenting and enjoyed the South Beach, which was beautiful! The waves were very powerful, so there were a lot of surfers out in the water. Because the waves were so powerful, we weren’t …
This week was also our last week in lab. It was bitter sweet to wrap up our work in Dr. Li’s lab. Kelly and Jin have been so helpful and patient with us, and it’s sad to be leaving them. For our last week we did a final presentation, where we presented our entire research …
The final week in Taiwan was really something. The beginning of the week was full of anxiousness and stress, trying to analyze the data correctly and getting my final presentation power point to be perfect. My data in particular had many readings since I used 6 sensors for my project. I went through so many …

This week I have continued to gather data for my experiment. I can safely say that I have perfected the art of shaving other people, since for each subject I have to shave them in order to put the sensors on their body. This week will be my last week of data collection. Bye the …
Falls have become an important healthcare issue for elderly adults because it can lead to disability, impaired function, and decreased quality of life. Moreover, falls can cause broken bones, head injuries, and psychological stress. Today was the day that I have been waiting for in the last 5 weeks. Those elderly participants came over to …
My project is getting slow since I haven’t collected data from elderly adults yet. As the beginning, I thought I could collect data from elderly adults on July 17th; however, the data was changed to July 25th. I only have one day to collect data which is a lot of pressure because I won’t have …
So far my experiment has become fairly solid. I am collecting good data from subjects and really learning how to interact with my subjects despite the language barrier.
