Résumé

Wearable technologies have been introduced in the past few decades and commercialized for several applications, mainly fitness and entertainment. Yet, their application as a biomedical device has been limited due to a lack of accuracy validation for in-field measurement and reliability for clinical evaluation. In this presentation, we will describe a systematic approach to the development of wearable biomedical devices for real-world applications. This approach includes biomechanical modelling and algorithm development, in-lab assessment for accuracy validation, and in-field experimentation for clinical evaluation. The development and implementation of several wearable technologies for instrumented functional tests and remote health monitoring in the long-term will be introduced. The applications of these technologies in clinical outcome evaluation for neuro-musculoskeletal conditions, rehabilitation technology development, remote health monitoring, ergonomic and athletic performance assessment, in collaboration with clinical settings and industry partners, are presented.
