Meet HARMONY-a first-of-its-kind rehab robot-NSF Science Now 34

The video covers four innovative studies: a University of Illinois study on teen driving behavior influenced by parental presence, a robotic exoskeleton called Harmony for rehabilitation developed by the University of Texas, a new Wi-Fi technology called WIFO from Oregon State University that uses LED lights to enhance bandwidth, and a smartphone app from the University of Washington for detecting sleep apnea at home. Each project is funded by the National Science Foundation and aims to improve safety, health, or technology efficiency.

What effect does a mother's presence have on a teen's driving behavior according to the study?

Describe the purpose of the Harmony robotic rehabilitation exoskeleton.

How does the WIFO technology improve Wi-Fi bandwidth?

What are the potential health risks associated with untreated sleep apnea?

What advantages does the Apnea App offer compared to traditional sleep apnea testing methods?

Explain how the Apnea App detects breathing changes during sleep.

In what ways could the Apnea App contribute to better health outcomes for individuals?
