Research Field

Medical Engineering

Introduction

His research focuses on applying an engineering perspective to assist rehabilitation, including areas such as stroke and chronic pain.  His research files include brain neuron imaging to identify pain disorders and stroke, using new technology (such as wearable devices and markerless system) to conduct motion analysis during rehabilitation, and the establishment of medical prediction models using large clinical databases.

Our lab is at the forefront of engineering innovative solutions to aid rehabilitation for conditions like stroke and chronic pain. 

We delve into groundbreaking research areas, including brain neuron imaging to detect pain disorders and stroke. 

By leveraging cutting-edge technology, such as wearable devices and markerless systems, we conduct detailed motion analyses to enhance rehabilitation processes. 

Moreover, our lab specializes in developing predictive medical models by analyzing extensive clinical databases. 

Our work aims to bridge engineering and medical sciences to improve rehabilitation techniques and patient outcomes.
