birdweather.comBirdWeather - a living library of bird vocalizationsBirdWeather PUC - A Smart Bird Listening DeviceBirdWeather started out as a backyard pandemic project, learning more about the birds in our own backyard, by the sound of their vocalizations. We built a prototype that was able to listen 24x7 to our backyard soundscape. We now have over 500 active stations around the globe, continuously listening in backyards, nature preserves, and remote installations. With the BirdWeather PUC, we've removed the complexity and created a simple, easy-to-use (one-button) portable device that is equally at home in your backyard, out in the field, or tagging along on a hike, continuously listening and identifying over 6000 global species.Our project is now live on Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scribelabs/birdweather-pucwww.runscribe.comGait Lab – Gait Analysis SystemRunScribe Gait Lab is a comprehensive gait analysis platform for running, walking and hiking (coaches, podiatrists, physical therapists, gait labs, etc). By capturing data on both feet at every step, RunScribe provides a detailed view of gait mechanics in the lab or out in the wild.Founding and developing RunScribe has been an incredible experience. I've worn just about every hat at one time or another (some fit better than others!) : - Hardware Development (circuit design, component/sensor selection, power management) - Software Development (100% of the firmware for all versions of RunScribe) - Algorithm Development (I've developed deep understanding of human movement, gait in particular, having now looked at tens of thousands of individual footsteps, building algorithms that work in the wild under all conditions) - Data Visualization (along the way, I've found new ways to visualize traditional gait metrics, eg. Shoe Print, Shoe Ride, and Sacral Prints)I have filed (2) Patent Applications around the use of wearable sensors in gait analysis and gait visualization.
