Research Projects

Explore our projects across three flagship research programmes.

Healthy Ageing

Research addressing Parkinson's disease, dementia, gait and mobility, balance, and falls prevention.

Early detection of dementia using neuroimaging and machine learning.

Objective assessment of Parkinson's disease using multimodal sensing and AI.

Validating a portable optical-fibre mat for objective balance assessment and fall-risk screening in older adults.

Using wearable sensors, human motion analysis and machine learning to identify movement-based digital biomarkers of dementia.

Objective assessment and personalised pain management through sensing, embedded AI, wearables, biofeedback and virtual reality.

Objective pain assessment using bio-signal analysis and AI.

Identifying which elements of virtual reality relieve acute pain, and why.

Research into cognitive workload, human factors, operator performance and human–system interaction for defence, safety and high-stress operations.

Multimodal sensing and AI for objective monitoring of cognitive workload and affective states during human–machine interaction.
