Vote for app that embeds healthcare into people’s lives
19 Aug 2016
The FARSEEING project, funded by the EC and involving researchers from the Division of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work, has been shortlisted for the DG CONNECT Innovation Radar Prize 2016, which rewards the high potential innovations - and related innovators – from around Europe
Working with partners at the University of Bologna, the researchers have developed novel smartphone apps for instrumenting clinical tests for functional assessment. They provide automatic algorithms for objective and comprehensive checks, which goes beyond traditional clinical measures.
The use of apps enables assessments that are portable and easily updateable. The apps have a user-friendly interface, providing personalised audio guidance/feedbacks and personalised reports. The apps include the uTUG (measure of motor function) and uSWAY (measure of postural sway) functions.
