Human Movement

We are a multidisciplinary group of researchers who work to improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and mitigation of diseases that limit people’s activity and participation in society.

Wearable Sensors for Clinical Movement

The goal of this project is to make movement analysis of the upper limb more accessible to clinicians. The first stage aims to combine a mathematical model of the muscles and joints with wearable sensor data, in order to refine body motion estimates. The second stage of the project will work towards developing a user interface for healthcare professionals to use.

Using wearable technology to improve the management of type 2 diabetes

The aim of this study is to investigate whether we can improve the beneficial outcomes of exercise and metformin treatment in people with Type 2 Diabetes by optimising the timing of exercise. To test this we use cutting-edge wearable technology to remotely monitor subjects in real-time, who are taking metformin, and are instructed to exercise at different times of the day.
