The Sensor Lab, funded by the University of Arizona Strategic Plan, is a Health Sciences initiative bringing students, faculty, industry and community partners together to advance novel human-centered hardware and software sensor systems. These systems detect, monitor, analyze and provide real-time feedback relating to human physiology and behavior. The mission is to create an engaging and inspirational environment with access to equipment and expertise that encourages creativity and innovation.The Sensor Lab connects researchers across disciplines, within health sciences and beyond, to develop an array of technologies and digital solutions with health applications (e.g., AI, VR, mobile apps). The Sensor Lab is outfitted with flexible wearable sensors, environmental monitoring, 360 video and audio recording, XR, coupled with analytical tools and multi-modal feedback capabilities. These include gold-standard state-of-the-art sensor systems and development platforms to push forward the next generation of sensor-based investigation and discovery.Our services include two main categories: (1) Equipment/sensor loaning (sensor and related equipment for shared use) and (2) Dedicated Space/Rooms (space configured and prepared for research using a variety of sensors).Depending on users' requirements and needs, the level of involvement with the Sensor Lab ranges from loaning of sensor hardware to a involvement in the design, proposal and the development of sensor-based research.
