Research & Development

Our portfolio showcases a diverse range of Research and Development projects, primarily supported by EU funding and National Research grants

Lameness
The purpose of this project was to develop an integrated system for early detection of lameness in cattles, using force plate gait analysis and pattern recognition techniques to identify changes in gait which indicate the onset of lameness. The system was tested on natural onset of lameness in an organised farm environment.

CPWATCHER
We developed a wearable system to assess the walking ability in patients with Cerebral Palsy. The proposed system is functional and “intelligent” and gather information from two wearable sensors placed on the patient’s upper-limbs. This information will help the clinicians to monitor patients’ progress remotely, make treatment decisions and evaluate treatment outcomes.

FISH
We developed an integrated automated system for valid mass removal of farmed fishes with skeletal deformities based on vision analysis and shape pattern recognition techniques.

UPREVENT
We developed a smart insole for foot ulcer prevention in diabetic patients. Pressure sensors and actuators was embedded into customized insoles to redistribute high-risk plantar pressures in localized plantar regions, such as metatarsal head and heel regions.

STROKEREHAB
We developed an holistic mechatronic system for the quickest, more economic and very efficient rehabilitation of the cerebral stroke-patients The system supports the patient to perform upper limb movements in the same way that a physician / therapist would help him.

VRADA
The Project developed a Virtual Reality environment to help patients with Alzheimer disease to do cycling exercise.

PARMODE
We developed a wearable sensor system to monitor the gait of Parkinsons' patients.

FITWHEEL
We developed a sensor based exercise system to provide eccentric exercise to wheel-chair patients.

COLOSTEO
This project investigated the use of colostrum on osteoporosis.
This project investigates the use of colostrum on osteoporosis.

MUSCLESTRESSRELIEF
We developed novel detection methods for the early diagnosis efficacious monitoring of muscle stress, and to make them commercially available. The diagnostic approaches and expertise generated here will also provide possibilities to monitor therapeutic strategies, i.e. how muscle can be relieved from stress activation.

SCAFFY
The purpose of this project was to create an effective intersectoral co-operation between academia institutions and SMEs to advance the concept of bio-scaffold for brown adipose tissue regeneration.

SMARTHELMET
The purpose of this project was to put together research expertise and resources from academia and commercial partners to develop a smart helmet that will prevent head overheating.

RETOURTHESSALY
RETOURTHESSALY built a user friendly e-tourism platform which will effectively accommodated the project’s requirements, developed exercise programmes specific for the needs of each group of patients aiming at improving their physical/medical condition and organised service certification of third parties (i.e. hotels, restaurants, taxi, haemodialysis centres, e.t.c.).

TIBIALROTATOR
TIBIALROTATOR developed a low cost device to measure tibial rotation for pre-post ACL injury funcional assessment.

WISHOE
The Wi-Shoe project developed a completely non-invasive wearable shoe-based system for measuring gait parameters and EE during walking by integrating miniature sensors in a custom designed sole for different shoe types.
