Projects
RehabAI@Home
RehabAI@Home is a collaborative programme that combines rehabilitation and AI to develop and apply innovative, scalable and effective technologies for self-management in the home environment.
Markerless Motion Capture
With markerless motion capture, we analyse gait patterns using AI software, without markers. This helps to detect risks of anterior cruciate ligament injury or falls at an early stage, enabling preventive interventions.
