Summer School: Digital Mobility Outcomes for Health Promotion and Prevention: Extracting actionable insights from real-world data 30th of July – 4th of August 2023, Bishop’s Fortress of Bertinoro, Italy The Mobilise-D consortium and the Italian DARE Initiative are delighted to invite PhD students, early career researchers, health practitioners, patient organisations, technology developers, pharmaceutical representatives, and other interested professionals to…
In 2006, Clint Hansen (38) stumbled across gait analysis when he did an internship in the gait lab at Aschau working with patients with cerebral palsy. Ever since he has been hooked on human motion capture. Eleven years later, he started running the Neurogeriatrics group in Kiel together with Professor Walter Maetzler. In 2020, Clint…
The work on algorithm development and technical validation has come to an end. We cannot believe it’s been three years already! The Mobilise-D webinar series on the Technical Validation Study (TVS) had its fifth and last session on April 9, 2022. In this session, we showed how the sum of every single contribution in WP2…
Novartis is now looking for a Digital Data Scientist to join their group and participate in their ground-breaking medical research activities that redefine the grammar for medicine in the post-genome era. The Digital Data Scientist in Novartis will understand complex and critical business problems, formulate integrated analytical approach to mine data sources, employ statistical methods…
The Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) will be held from July 25-29, 2021. On Sunday, July 25, 09:30-11:30, our Mobilise-D colleagues Andrea Cereatti, Silvia Del Din, and Kamiar Aminian will have a tutorial: “To wear or not to wear? Translating Movement Analysis Beyond the Laboratory with Wearable Sensors”. Low-cost wearable sensors are…
Our Mobilise-D colleague Dr. Silvia Del-Din has always been fascinated by research and the idea of “making a difference in people’s lives”. Here she explains her role in Mobilise-D, her new NUAcT fellowship at Newcastle University, and her perspective on how remote monitoring can revolutionize healthcare. Silvia (37) was born in Agordo in the North-East of Italy and is a great fan of travelling and hiking. In her professional life, she has been involved in research for more than 10 years now. But how did a young girl from a small town nestled in the Dolomites, end up doing…
The Digital Health Catalyst (DHC) was created by Mobilise-D and IDEA-FAST in response to the growing need for research and application in the area of real-world digital measurements. “The field will require a new generation of personnel from areas including clinical research and application, sensor and hardware development, infrastructure and data handling, data processing and…
All the constraints of the past year, the recurrent lockdowns, all the additional challenges we faced having to change our homes to home-offices and home-schooling, could easily have stopped us from our endeavour, but no! We managed to find our way and continue our research, our testing, and our engagement with patients. We invited one…
This coming Friday Abolfazl Soltani, one of our Mobilisers from EPFL, Switzerland, will have the public defense of his PhD thesis. In his PhD work, Abolfazl has focused on accurate walking speed estimation and walking bout detection based on wrist-worn sensors. Although there are many different digital systems that can monitor gait in unsupervised free-living situations such as housekeeping, catching a bus, and shopping, they each have different advantages and disadvantages. One such system, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), can measure real-world gait speed accurately, but…
Well known biomarkers such as blood pressure, respiration, temperature, pulse, and pain are frequently used by physicians and other health professionals to describe a patient’s health and disease status. In addition to these ‘signs of life’, there is another important aspect of people’s health and disease status, namely their mobility – how well they walk. Loss of physical mobility, such as reduced walking speed, is a significant feature of many health…
