Physical Health

An important part of improving quality of life is enhancing physical mobility and reducing the burden of conditions that cause motor dysfunction. We are developing technology that will aid recovery and reduce long term disability.

Other projects

  • Smart musculoskeletal rehabilitation aids
  • Smart materials for artificial muscles
  • VivoVest – measuring daily activity and health
Bioimpedance for low-cost physiological measurement

Technologies for energy expenditure estimation

Human health and performance are commonly measured using non-invasive sensing of physiological activity inside the body in the healthcare, wellness, and sports sectors.
