Funding is available for the following research project which will be supervised jointly between Queen Margaret University and Edinburgh Napier University:
Smart wearable devices for supporting multi-comorbid and frail individuals to live independently.
We aim to design, develop and evaluate a smart multi-sensor instrument that allows a personalised assessment of gait, stability and activities of daily living. The data will be used to perform different analysis to show risks associated with physical frailty and/or falls and pre-falls using AI approaches.
Start date: 23 January 2023.
The successful applicant will be supported by a supervisory team and the Graduate School and will receive:
- Full waiver of tuition fees;
