Doctoral Network on Assistive Health Technology in Unsupervised/Home Settings (AERALIST)

Project summary

Assistive health technology aims to improve health outcomes and address the challenges posed by various diseases. Notable examples include home-based rehabilitation robotics, electric wheelchairs, telehealth applications, and powered prostheses. However, these technologies still face limitations when operating outside their specifically tailored environments, which impacts safety and reliability in dynamic scenarios. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the AERIALIST project seeks to advance assistive health technology by leveraging machine learning advancements.

It aims to nurture a new generation of multidisciplinary doctoral candidates who will collaborate with industry partners and health technology developers to create technologies that enhance health diagnoses, treatments, and overall quality of life while promoting equity in daily activities.
