This project seeks to take a fundamental step in addressing the challenges of pBLV, with a focus on employment. The project is grounded in recent advancements by our research team toward the creation of the VIS4ION wearable (Visually Impaired Smart Service System for Spatial Intelligence and Onboard Navigation).
VIS4ION-Thailand: Smart Navigation System for the Visually Impaired
Our team developed VIS4ION, a wearable mobility solution for the visually impaired, offering a customizable, human-in-the-loop sensing-to-feedback platform for functional assistance. We believe wearables enhance spatial cognition, personal freedom, and wellbeing. Our goal is to advance this technology with next-generation mapping and localization software.
Assessing Post-Stroke Recovery via Brain-Muscle Connectivity
Stroke is the leading cause of motor disabilities and places high pressure on healthcare infrastructures due to the imbalance between the need for serving an aging society and available neurorehabilitation resources. Thus, there has been a surge in the production of novel rehabilitative technologies for accelerating recovery.
