The use of the digital twin has been quickly adopted in industry in recent years and continues to gain momentum. The recent redefinition of the digital twin from the digital replica of a physical asset to the replica of a living or nonliving entity has increased its potential. The digital twin not only disrupts industrial processes, but also expand...

Several recent studies in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) focus on monitoring human movement and capturing data for further processing and analysis. However, there is a lack of studies that address the configurability and modularity of these systems, which is important for designing customized systems with customized devices. We propose a solution to...

Personal healthcare systems play fundamental role in shaping the future of healthcare. With the explosion of Digital Twin [1] including wearable technology, many healthcare systems depend on personal health devices (PHD) to perform their functions. It is thus important to standardize the utilized PHDs. In this paper, we propose the X73-PHD standard...

A SmartInsoles Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is designed and implemented for the purpose of measuring gait parameters of multiple users in a restriction-free environment. This CPS comprises a master software installed on a computer and numerous multi-sensory health devices in the form of smart insoles. Each of these insoles contains 12 Force-Sensitiv...

This work presents a review of recent research related to gait parameters measurement and analysis. Then, a wireless CPS (Cyber-Physical System) setup is described with the goal of monitoring, visualizing, and recording detailed gait data over a conventional IEEE 802.11 WiFi. A detailed description of the design and implementation of the physical p...

This paper discusses some of the recent advances in contactless haptic feedback. We mainly discuss two research methods to produce haptic feedback in 3D space: Air-jet and ultrasound. We discuss and compare technical basics of each technology, and then give a literature review of some of the research done that is closely related to this field. This...

Affective haptic research is a rapidly growing field. This article intends to improve the existing literature and contribute by involving consumers directly in the design of a smart haptic jacket by adding heat, vibration actuators, and by enhancing portability. The proposed system is designed for six basic emotions: love, joy, surprise, anger, sad...

This paper describes the results of a survey that was conducted to involve consumers in the design of a haptic jacket as a HCI device. It also describes how the system is designed, implemented and evaluated. The jacket contains an embedded computing system and haptic actuators that are programmed to affect its user emotionally and improve their imm...

Affective haptic research is a rapidly growing field. Today, more smart haptic clothes are being studied and implemented which are aimed to effect its users emotionally. However, they have some limitations. This research intends to improve the existing literature and contribute by involving consumers directly in the design of a smart haptic jacket...
