How Can a Censor Help Children With Atopic Dermotitis?
Atopic dermotitis, also known as exma, causes chronic itching. It can be so severe in children that they scratch their itchy skin at night instead of sleeping - leading to stunted growth. To reduce this nocturnal itching a censor has been developed which measures scratches initiated from the arm, wrist, fingers and finger tips. When compared to the invared camera method, the censor performed well, correctly identifying 84 % of scratching movements and 99% of non scratching movements.
