Stroke Rehabilitation Technologies for Home Use - Seminar
Wednesday, 2nd May 2018, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Registration from 1:30 pmThe Biomedical Engineering department has been a centre of innovation in rehabilitation technology for a number of years.
This seminar will focus on the barriers to using technologies at home for stroke survivors and healthcare professionals.
The seminar will be preceded by a showcase event where participants can drop in from 11am – 2pm which will give stroke survivors, engineers and therapists the opportunity to come and try out our current projects in stroke rehabilitation as well as commercially available products. This will include mobile phones apps for speech therapy, gait and sit-to-stand training, arm exercisers and virtual reality. You can book to attend both events at the point of registration.

- Researchers/academics.
Benefits of attending
This is an opportunity to influence the development of new technologies by engaging with our researchers and product developers. You will get a chance to contribute your thoughts on how we can overcome the barriers preventing the widespread use of these technologies at home.
