A sensor system for the objective detection of early care needs in independently living older adults in homecare
This feasibility study between VUB (RERE and ETRO) and Wit Gele Kruis aims to develop a cost-effective and minimally invasive sensor system to support home-care nurses in assessing the care needs of older adults living independently. The objective o...
Augmented reality in rehabilitation: a novel deep learning markerless approach for human pose and gait parameters estimation
3D Human pose estimation (HPE) is a computer vision task that estimates the configuration of human body parts in the 3D space. HPE is the main technology behind markerless motion capture, which is usually preferred to a marker based one as it is more...

Prolonged transcranial alternating current stimulation leveraging new stimulation paradigms and set-ups as a treatment to promote remyelination in cuprizone treated mice.
The (human) brain has a remarkable innate capacity to self-repair when demyelination occurs. This endogenous mechanism, however, fails in diseases like multiple sclerosis leading to reduced intracortical communication and cognitive disabilities. Curr...
A novel radar-based sensor for non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure monitoring: from design towards clinical testing
Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is the steady-state pressure inside brthe abdominal compartment. Based on literature, approximately more brthan half of the critically ill patients develop intra-abdominal brhypertension (IAH) within their stay in the i...
