Identifying complex activity patterns through smart sensor technology in geriatric rehabilitation.
This is a collaborative project between the University of Ulm, Robert Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart, and the IB University of Health and Social Sciences. It was initiated in response to a funding call for 'Smart Sensor Technology' — a programme by the German Federal Ministry of Health focused on digital innovations to improve patient-centred healthcare.
The primary goal of this project is to enable the low-threshold use of body-worn activity sensors in geriatric rehabilitation, allowing for automated analysis of movement patterns. To achieve this, an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, physicians, legal scholars, psychologists, and ethicists is working towards three key objectives.
The first objective is to develop the technology for on-device learning from body-worn sensors. In parallel, the team is establishing the regulatory framework for clinical deployment, addressing data protection as well as ethical and legal considerations. The third objective is real-world testing under clinical conditions.
