About this talk

Dan co-founded the Open Movement platform (openmovement.dev), whose AX3 and AX6 devices have been widely used in movement research and population studies, including the UK Biobank. This has underpinned his recent work focused on movement sensing with wearable computing, including projects supporting people with conditions such as Parkinson’s and stroke. His other work involved systems to support exergaming and safe walking for people with degenerative conditions, sensor-instrumented environments that assist their users, video coaching, reflection within counselling, population weight-loss, and nutrition.
