| Abstract: | DMEK (Descemets’ Membrane Endo Keratoplasty) corneal transplantation is an eye surgery in which the head orientation plays an important role in the occurrence of graft detachment. The patient is instructed to stay in the supine position and look up for 24 hours post-surgery. In some cases, however, graft detachment occurs which leads to an additional intervention. In this research, the focus is on obtaining the orientation of the head by applying the Madgwick orientation filter to an IMU attached to the patient’s forehead. Accordingly to this problem, the purpose of this research part is to optimise the filter parameter β and apply sector division on head poses. Optimising this filter parameter enhances the orientation estimation. The outcomes of the study revealed the significance of optimizing the filter parameter β to enhance head orientation determination. The implementation of sector division for head poses further contributed to understanding the patient’s postoperative behaviour. This groundwork holds promise for improving patient care outcomes in corneal transplantation, ultimately reducing the incidence of graft detachment and the need for additional interventions. |
