Movement assessment outside the laboratory requires methods that can handle less controlled recordings and varied activities. The KU Leuven PDM fellowship supported AI-based movement assessment in people with Parkinson’s disease and older care-home residents. Work included extending gait analysis towards wearable sensors, developing collaborations for multicentre validation, and piloting movement assessment in care homes.
The fellowship also supported collaborative proposal development, contributing to follow-on research in exercise support, home monitoring and assistive rehabilitation. AI@WZC and RevalExo developed these directions further, while proposals for AID-FOG and AidWear were developed during this period.
