ncsu [dot] edu Carey is interested in wireless instrumentation systems, electronic textile technologies, and polymer thick film flexible circuits. He is a member of Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Bata Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, Golden Key Club, and Phi Eta Sigma.
Currently, Carey is working on developing textile printed circuit boards for various applications. Such applications include a vital signs monitoring garment that measures heart rate and respiration. He is also investigating the use of wireless technologies like Bluetooth to develop wireless garments that can communicate with a distributed network or interface with a wireless PDA. Potentially such systems could be used to aid in monitoring military troops vitals during combat, children who are at risk for sudden infant death syndrome, and persons having ongoing health conditions. His previous work has focused on developing a pneumatically actuated garment for stroke rehabilitation.
