Robotic Gait Simulator: A Novel Approach for Testing Prosthetics
No full textThe robotic gait simulator is designed to support professionals in provision of prosthetic products and services to persons with amputation. It has the potential to allow longitudinal remote assessment and optimization of full-body mobility for prosthetic limb wearers. This lightning talk explores using an industrial robot for testing prosthetics to enhance the design, durability and end-user experience
Artificial Intelligence-Driven Prediction for Osteoporosis: The Imminent Fracture Risk Tool
No full textOsteoporosis, characterized by weakened bones and increased fracture risk, affects millions worldwide, posing a significant public health challenge. The Centre for Applied AI collaborated with Osteoporosis Canada on a project focused on the development of an AI-driven imminent fracture risk (IFR) prediction tool aimed at timely intervention, effective management and improving outcomes for osteoporosis patients
Golf Swing Trainer
Full text linkThe advent of mobile technology and smartwatches has revolutionized sports training, including golf. This abstract presents an innovative golf training app that harnesses the power of these devices to enhance golfers\u27 skills. The proposed app integrates mobile device capabilities to track and record a golfer\u27s swing, generating a detailed 3D model for comprehensive analysis. Concurrently, a smartwatch with built-in sensors, including the accelerometer, captures precise swing data. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, the app processes the smartwatch\u27s recorded swing data to provide insightful tips and personalized recommendations, aiding golfers in refining their technique and improving their overall game. This integrated approach offers an advanced and accessible tool for golf enthusiasts seeking to elevate their golfing proficiency through data-driven insights and actionable feedback
MindKeep
Full text linkMind Keep is an application that aims to support people who are experiencing memory impairments, especially those living with Alzheimer\u27s disease. Given the progressive nature of the disease, individuals diagnosed early have the best prognosis. Unfortunately, up to 75% of people living with dementia do not receive a diagnosis. Our app targets individuals whose Alzheimer’s diagnosis is not received early, or those who did not have the opportunity to slow down the disease\u27s progression during its initial stages, as well as those whose memory impairments have become severe. The disease has no treatment, and current solutions primarily concentrate on slowing down the disease\u27s advancement during its initial stages, thus leaving a significant portion of the affected population without adequate support. The goal of this application, Mind Keep, is to help these individuals by providing memory cues with augmented reality (AR) by placing markers in relation to the user\u27s environment to help them remember important tasks. The app utilizes AR cloud anchors, a technology that enables the creation and sharing of AR experiences, to place markers that serve as memory cues for users. This allows the app to provide personalized memory aids that are tailored to each user\u27s unique needs and preferences
Lighting Design for Ageing Eyes: Design Guidebook for Interior Designers
Full text linkThis research investigates the impact of lighting design on the quality of life of older adults, focusing on enhancing visual comfort, cognitive engagement, emotional stability, and independence. It examines how different lighting designs, specifically adaptive, natural, and artificial lighting, affect the visual comfort, sleep quality, mood, and cognitive functions of the elderly in residential and care environments. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating surveys and interviews to capture the lighting needs of seniors. The findings indicate that well-designed lighting solutions, including adaptive systems, increased natural light access, accessible individual controls, and different task and time of day-based colour temperature accommodation can significantly improve the well-being and autonomy of the elderly. Interior designers are also encouraged to adopt adaptive lighting strategies, consider emotional impacts, and integrate biophilic elements to create supportive environments for ageing populations, from holistic perspectives involving every stakeholder from design to operational and implemental stages
