The Institute of Applied Physics offers customers methods and algorithms for data processing for biomedical suits with an inertial motion capture system under a commercial proposal with technical assistance and is looking for partners to conclude a research cooperation agreement and/or a technical cooperation agreement.

Biomedical suits are specialized products designed for use in medicine, rehabilitation, sports, and other fields related to maintaining or restoring human health. They are high-tech garments that can incorporate various sensors, control systems, materials with special properties, and even robotic elements.

The main purposes and functions of biomedical suits are:
1. Rehabilitation:
- Used to restore mobility after injuries, surgeries, or illnesses (e.g., stroke).
- Often incorporate exoskeletal elements or muscle stimulation systems.
2. Diagnostics:
- Equipped with sensors that collect data on the body's condition: heart rate, respiration, muscle activity, body temperature, and other parameters.
- These suits can be used to monitor patients' condition in real time.
3. Functional support and compensation:
- Designed to support weakened muscles or joints.
- For example, suits with compression elements or spinal support.
4. Therapy:
- Includes technologies for physiotherapy, such as electrical muscle stimulation, thermal, or magnetic therapy.
5. Sports Medicine and Training:
- Used to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, and accelerate recovery after exercise.

Biomedical suits with a motion capture system provide more accurate data on patient movement and provide a personalized and effective approach to treatment and care, assisting in diagnosis, medical rehabilitation, surgical procedures, and injury monitoring and prevention.

The development's scope of application is personalized and effective therapy, patient care, and disease prevention associated with musculoskeletal disorders.

Information on the methods and algorithms for data processing for biomedical suits with an inertial motion capture system, developed at the Institute of Applied Physics, is available in the Catalog "Advanced Developments of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus"2024, pp. 72-73. (in Russian)

The development of data processing methods and algorithms for biomedical suits with inertial motion capture systems is necessary to improve the accuracy and reliability of suit data, as well as its integration with other medical systems. The proposed solutions will improve the functionality of the medical haptic suit, expanding its capabilities in rehabilitation and patient monitoring. The scientific and technical level is at the highest level.

The developed data processing methods and algorithms for biomedical suits with inertial motion capture systems enable: ensuring the accuracy and stability of motion tracking, eliminating noise and artifacts, calibrating and adapting to a specific user, processing data in real time while minimizing computing resources, integrating with other medical sensors, and ensuring clinical applicability for obtaining diagnostically significant metrics and patient condition indicators. Solving these problems will improve the efficiency and reliability of using biomedical suits with inertial motion capture in clinical practice and rehabilitation.
