Development of accelerometry to assist in vestibular dysfunction examinations and to reduce falls
This study aims to develop accelerometry techniques in order to accurately measure the body's posture and movements and use signal processing and artificial intelligence methods to analyse and interpret the information.
Development of Thermal Imaging to Monitor Wounds in Skeletal Surgeries
The aim of this project is to develop innovative thermal imaging solutions to assess and monitor inflammation and surgical tissues' reaction and the time taken for them to settle down after skeletal surgeries.
