Research Projects
Intelligent Orthopaedics facilitated by machine learning and novel sensing technologies


Programme(s) to which this project applies:
☑ MPhil/PhD ☒ MRes[Med] ☒ URIS

Aim and Significance

The aim of the project is to develop the next generation of system and devices that will revolutionize the current orthopaedics practice covering screening, diagnosis, non-srugical and surgical treatments, with auto-analysis and optimised treatment management planning. The intelligent orthopaedics platform formed by this project can be have significant clinical impact, providing accurate and fast clinical assessments, improve safety and efficacy, as well as provide continuous tracking.

Research Plan and Methodology

Research methods involved in this project would ranking from model development, data management, embedded system, real-time sensing, clinical testing and validation. Predefined parameters for each step are decided inline with the clinical gold standard. The platform can be transferable to other clinical expertise in the future.
