Abstract
Hand-grip strength is a widely recognized indicator of muscle strength and overall health of individuals, particularly among older adults. Hand-grip strength measurements are typically obtained using dynamometers or specifically tailored devices, limiting the context in which measurements can be taken to health checks and clinical settings. In this demo, we showcase a new smart ring, namely HIPPO. The smart ring implements an innovative approach that offers a non-intrusive and opportunistic way to extract handgrip strength measurements from individuals. HIPPO re-purposes off-the-shelf light sensors available in existing wearable devices, e.g., smartwatches, and exploits the principle of light reflectivity, such that as an individual interacts with everyday objects, changes in their surfaces can be used to derive the hand-grip measurements.
