Continuous and quantitative<br \/>\nrecording of human motor function is required for optimal<br \/>\nrehabilitation. However, current technical solutions require either a<br \/>\nvisit to a gait laboratory, which only a few specialised clinics have<br \/>\ndue to the high costs, or a monitoring system worn on the body, which<br \/>\nonly records a few minutes with sufficient accuracy, cannot be<br \/>\nintegrated into clothing and is complex to put into operation.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, <strong>LifeHelper <\/strong>records human motor<br \/>\nactivity at any time and in any place in a highly precise, continuous,<br \/>\nrobust, compact, calibration-free and recyclable manner. <strong>LifeHelper <\/strong>realises<br \/>\nthis disruptive movement measurement with battery-free &ldquo;tags&rdquo; that are<br \/>\nintegrated almost invisibly into any item of clothing as small, flat<br \/>\nwireless sensors that are always ready for use and whose current<br \/>\npositions are calculated by a tracking device worn on the belt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LifeHelper <\/strong>thus not only optimises and shortens the<br \/>\nrehabilitation process through quantitative and continuous movement<br \/>\nmonitoring, but also counteracts neurological diseases (e.g.<br \/>\nParkinson&rsquo;s) through individual medication, enables evidence-based<br \/>\nphysiotherapy and occupational therapy measures and increases the<br \/>\nquality of life even in old age through preventive training. The<br \/>\nunlimited amount of individual movement data also opens up completely<br \/>\nnew applications for artificial intelligence (AI). Last but not least,<br \/>\nthe continuous movement measurement also enables new sports and gaming<br \/>\napplications, meaning that <strong>LifeHelper <\/strong>opens up several new future markets at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>The outstanding <strong>LifeHelper <\/strong>project consortium can<br \/>\nonly be found in the border region between Germany and the Netherlands<br \/>\nand contributes to a more innovative programme area through close<br \/>\ninterdisciplinary cooperation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","pr-category":[278],"pr-priority":[288],"pr-stat":[254],"class_list":["post-40909","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","pr-category-health-care-3","pr-priority-a-more-innovative-programme-area","pr-stat-new"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/40909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pr-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-category?post=40909"},{"taxonomy":"pr-priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-priority?post=40909"},{"taxonomy":"pr-stat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-stat?post=40909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
