The project addresses how a patient requiring assistive technologies, uses them when they leave the clinic.  This 36-month project provides measurement, validation, and a feedback facility for a range of conditions and their associated Adaptive, Assistive or Rehabilitative Technologies. It brings together a multidisciplinary team to create a platform to provide information to clinicians, the carers, and end-users. Apart from Kent, the project involves 6 universities: Warwick, Cardiff, Salford, UCL, York, and Oxford Brookes to measure biomechanics in real world scenarios. Kent&#8217;s contribution will be to provide sensing, both as transfer tattoos and integrated into the assistive technologies such as wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new EPSRC grant has been awarded to Dr John Batchelor as part of a \u00a31.9M project entitled: Adaptive Assistive Rehabilitative Technology &#8211; Beyond the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/2014\/12\/08\/congratulations-to-john-on-epsrc-funding\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55249,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55249"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
