Our knowledge of the neuromuscular system is defined by tools and technologies that measure human movement. From the neural control of individual muscle fibers to the complex coordination of total body movements, precision electromyographic (EMG) and inertial (IMU) sensing systems provide a means for assessing musculoskeletal health, interfacing with rehabilitative interventions and interrogating the neural control of movement. To advance these and other physiological measurement technologies, our team of software, electronics and signal processing engineers, are collaborating with leading researchers and clinical practitioners to solve challenges across a broad spectrum of human health applications for monitoring susceptibility and preventing sports injury, developing speech recognition algorithms for augmentative and alternative communication, and harnessing the motor neuron activation for prosthetics, robotics and rehabilitation. Through these efforts, Delsys aims deliver cutting-edge technology to forward the science and healthcare of human movement.
Joshua C. Kline, Ph.D. has more than 12 years of experience in research and development beginning at Boston University and continuing more recently at Delsys, Inc. He obtained a PhD in biomedical engineering under the direction of Dr. Carlo J De Luca, with concentrations in the fields of signal processing, algorithm development and neuromuscular physiology. After completing a 1-year post-doc at the NeuroMuscular Research Center, he joined Delsys, Inc as a member of the research team in 2014. Now as VP of Research & Development, Dr. Kline collaborates with a team of researchers and scientists working to 1) advance algorithms to extract neural control from biological signals; 2) further the understanding of neuromuscular physiology; and 3) translate human-centric measurement technology from research to the marketplace. He has participated as PI and key person on numerous NIH-, DARPA- and DoD- funded research projects that have led to high-impact peer-reviewed publications, international scientific conference presentations and novel body-worn sensor technologies.
