CLINICAL ASSESSMENT SUITE
The Clinical Assessment Suite is mainly located in the Innovation to Implementation (i2i) Lab and adjoining Bone Health Lab, which provide a large area for conducting fall prevention and exercise studies, as well as assessments of the mobility patterns of volunteer research participants.
Equipment in this suite has the capacity to measure multisystem physiological and physical functions, as well as clinical and biomechanical measures of mobility. Various state-of-art wearables are available to assess physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep continuously over days.
This knowledge is being combined with field studies to allow researchers to improve the safety of environments where older adults live.
The Clinical Assessment Suite is also used to develop new materials and devices for injury prevention, such as compliant flooring and wearable hip protectors to prevent fractures due to falls, and wearable sensors to monitor imbalance and falls in daily life.
The large space is also ideal for presentations and has provided classroom space to Biomedical Engineering courses and has been a home base for the Engineers in Scrubs program.
