Scientists of the Department of Biomedical Engineering of NURE, in particular associate professor Maksym Tymkovich and assistant Oleksii Trubitsyn, joined the webinar Rehabilitation robotics: Advancing physical therapy for improved health outcomes на базі нейромережі AI for Good Neural Network.
Leading scientists in the field of biomedical engineering and artificial intelligence from various universities (Stanford University, Western University, Harvard University, University of California, ETH Zurich) gathered to discuss the use of intelligent robotics for rehabilitation.
About 15% of the world’s population, or approximately 1 billion people, live with a disability. Rehabilitation jobs help people recover from physical disabilities caused by injury or illness, helping them regain mobility and carry out daily activities more easily. These robotic devices use artificial intelligence to guide and monitor patient movements and make accurate diagnoses, helping to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs, resulting in improved health and faster recovery. Robots help people overcome mobility challenges by improving their strength, coordination and endurance for a healthier and more independent life.
The webinar also addressed issues related to the implementation, cost-effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation robots.
The department of BMI has extensive experience in the field of rehabilitation engineering and conducts relevant research, in particular, on the basis of the laboratory of sports medicine and physical rehabilitation.He has many years of experience in the application of artificial intelligence in the processing of medical data and images, which is covered in numerous scientific publications, textbooks, and monographs.
Obtaining information on innovations in this field allows for the creation of a forward-looking research agenda and contributes to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Goal 3 – Sustainable Health and Well-Being, Goal 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and Goal 10 – Reducing Inequality.
