Indoors elderly person activity monitoring
Thanks to advancements in modern medicine, we are able to live longer than ever. As a result, we are living in an ever-growing aging population in which an increasing number of older people face living alone. Read more
ACRC Academy
. We are looking for the next generation of leaders who can transform advanced care. Read more
Digital twin the daily life patterns using multi-modal data
With advancement of wearables and wellness monitoring technologies, it’s feasible to continuously monitor elderly populations to effectively ensure their wellbeing without compromising privacy and maintaining the dignity while them being monitored. Read more
SGSAH CDA Project - Archiving Agnes Owens: Asserting the Marginal Voice
Alasdair Gray has described Agnes Owens as ‘the most unfairly neglected of all living Scottish authors’. Read more
Information processing from childhood into older age: A developmental lifespan perspective on neural plasticity in learning strategies
We are inviting applications for a PhD studentship (start date September 18th 2023) in the School of Psychology and Centre for Human Brain Health (CHBH) at the University of Birmingham. Read more
Using genomics and proteomics to determine age-related changes in murine bowel. (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Ranson)
Disrupted homeostasis linked to ageing can result in a significant loss of physiological function and a reduced quality of life for elderly people. Read more
Machine learning to stratify psoriatic arthritis in children and adults
Psoriatic arthritis can have onset in child or adulthood, from infants to the elderly. It is a highly heterogenous disease, with features potentially affecting the joints, skin, nails and scalp. Read more
Computer Vision for Ambient Assisted Living
Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3-year full-time or 6-year part time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Computing and will be supervised by . Read more
3D-modeling of human skeletal muscle for in vitro functional assaying (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/SIMOES)
Muscle tissue are found throughout our body and is responsible for mobility, metabolism, and breathing. Read more
Building Baymax - Flexible Robot Skin: Smart sensors and algorithms
In this project, we aim to develop the next generation of household robots (not vacuum cleaners but multi-task robotic manipulators) that are safe to interact with, even for children and the elderly. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of stem cell function in skeletal muscle ageing
The ability of skeletal muscles to regenerate in response to injury, exercise, growth or disease depends on a population of adult skeletal muscle stem cells. Read more
Unravelling the role of P4HB in skeletal development: towards treatment of heritable bone fragility
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) affects 1 in 15-20,000 live births and results in a childhood with frequent fractures, reduced mobility and joint problems. Read more
A multidisciplinary approach to defeat onychomycosis: advanced imaging techniques to understand fungal colonization and optimize efficiency of microporation and AMR resilient therapies
Up to 5 million people in the UK are affected by fungal infection of toe and fingernails (ONC) at any one time, with a concerning high prevalence in elderly, diabetic and immunocompromised patients. Read more
The Impact of Heat Stress on Human Health, Performance, and Function across the Lifecourse
The interaction between climate change, ageing, and sedentary behaviour mean the elderly are a highly vulnerable cohort for heat-related illness. Read more
Genetics: Investigating the molecular basis of optic nerve degeneration in glaucoma to try and develop a personalized medicine strategy for treatment
The optic nerve is a special sensory nerve that transmits visual impulses from the retina to the brain. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy of multifactorial origin that affects 1 in 10 elderly individuals. Read more
