Research

Development and Validation of wearable technology

Development and testing of novel wearable technologies and sensor fusion methodologies to ensure accurate and reliable results, enhancing the credibility for biomechanical research and weal-world applications.

Clinical implementation of wearable technologies

Clinical research projects involving human participants to investigate outcome evaluation for clinical treatments or interventions using wearable and autonomous technologies, aiming to inform remote healthcare and evidence-based healthcare practices.

Injury risk assessment and prevention

Our injury prevention research mostly focuses on development of wearable technologies for ergonomic  risk assessment and applications of exoskeletons for workers to enhance safety during physically demanding tasks. The outcome is evidence-based guidelines for implementation of industrial exoskeletons.

Sports Biomechanics and athletic performance assessment

Development of wearable technologies for in-filed movement to improve athletes’ performance, prevent injuries, and optimize training methods.
