Our Research Group has good experience and a strong interest in the use of sensing technology to assist people in their daily lives.
Past and current projects in this area includes:
- NOCTURNAL
- POSEIDON
- SUCCESS
- Management of respiratory conditions
- Partnership with GLL to explore how Ubiquitous Computing can support positive behaviour change around sports, exercise as well as physical activity in general, and the creation of innovative digital solutions to support societal improvement.
We also support an MSc by Research on AAL.
