A team of engineering and physical therapy faculty and students is collaborating to address that challenge. The group is conducting research to evaluate the accuracy of how AR technology tracks joint motion and hand gestures.
“This research takes a holistic view to enable the research on AR application for physical therapy to be applied not only in a clinical setting, but ultimately within the larger health ecosystem of both the clients and the health care providers,” says Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Kavitha Chandra, who is advising the student researchers.
“Collaboration with physical therapists and students is critical, because their domain expertise helps to ensure the technology addresses real clinical needs, is safe and practical and aligns with rehabilitation goals,” says Boopathy. “This interdisciplinary approach significantly strengthens both the research design and outcomes.”
