HICF: Limbs Alive – Monitoring of Upper Limb Rehabilitation and Recovery after Stroke Through Gaming
Limbs Alive – Monitoring of Upper Limb Rehabilitation and Recovery after Stroke Through Gaming
(Wellcome Trust and Department of Health (DoH) under the Health Innovation Challenge Fund)
SiDE researchers will be involved in a new project funded by the Wellcome Trust and Department of Health (DoH) under the Health Innovation Challenge Fund. The project, Monitoring of Upper Limb Rehabilitation and Recovery after Stroke Through Gaming, in collaboration with "Limbs Alive", will explore the recovery from stroke through gaming and SiDE researchers will investigate the related business and technical challenges.
Through gaming at home the project aims to deliver highly motivating therapy for relearning arm and hand movements to stroke patients. The service will analyse arm and hand movements during the playing of video games in order to provide feedback to the patient and their therapist via the internet.

SALTS
SALT - Designing Scalable Assistive Technologies and Services for Independent Healthy Living and Sustainable Market Development in the Mixed Digital Economy.
(Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and ESRC under ALIP3: Assisted Living Economic and Business Models, and Social & Behavioural Studies)
The main objectives of this integrated project are to (1) design new business models for scalable assistive technologies and services to promote sustainable market development for independent healthy living in the mixed digital economy; and (2) understand the factors that promote or inhibit the uptake, use and integration of assistive technologies for older people living in the community from a user-centred perspective. It brings together a multi-disciplinary team of academics with practitioners from business, health and social care services, government agencies, third sector organisations and user groups to develop innovative, workable solutions. The close involvement of businesses, health and social care services and users will help identify a clear route to market. It makes a significant contribution to capacity building in the North East, by developing innovative solutions within existing health and social care structures through co-construction; exploring new business models for sustainable new market development through case studies and experiments; and informing and validating new solutions from a user-centred perspective.

Researchers will conduct an ethnographic study of artists, dealers and collectors at Bar Lane Studios with work on sale in traditional as well as non traditional formats; To explore insights from the ethnography in participatory design workshops with artists and dealers using lightweight conceptual prototypes, e.g. signed USB sticks, pre-loaded digital frames, physically augmented (sculpted / painted) digital frames; To draw on insights from the design workshops in order to develop two prototype systems: Authorized Art App; Digital Original Artifacts. To work with 10 artists to create a body of work for sale in the two prototype formats; To evaluate the prototypes in a live exhibition with prototypes in an iterative process which would inform design and business models.
