RELab ETH Zürich

Last week, we were delighted to welcome a delegation from Singapore to RELab ETH Zürich, as part of their visit to attend the CYBATHLON event. This gathering provided a fantastic opportunity to discuss our vision for implementing rehabilitation technologies along the continuum of care and to celebrate the unique, impactful collaboration with Singapore through the Future Health Technologies Programme at the Singapore-ETH Centre. A big thank you to the entire delegation for an enriching exchange!

Here's to everyone who made #CYBATHLON2024 a success! We're proud of our RELab ETH Zürich team's contributions, from leading disciplines to organizing awards. Laura Mayrhuber and Camille Pescatore brought energy as Head of Disciplines and commentators; Anna Knill organized the Jury Award and supported as callroom operator; Dr. Dominik Wyser joined as a Jury member; and Prof. Dr. Roger Gassert, Vice-President of the strategic board, presented medals and shared valuable insights. Thanks to all who came to cheer and support. Here's to driving the future of rehabilitation engineering together!  #AssistiveTechnology #InclusiveInnovation #RELab #CYBATHLON ETH Zürich, CYBATHLON

Join us for an amazing and inspiring third CYBATHLON on October 25–27, where persons with disabilities who were involved in the development of innovative assistive technologies will compete with these technologies to showcase what can be achieved with user-centered development! This time with two additional disciplines, live at the main hub in Zurich and 7 additional hubs worldwide. A big thank you to the CYBATHLON team for making accessibility a priority!

We excitedly started the new semester of our lecture „Medical Engineering I“ for ETH Zürich human medicine bachelor students. A big thanks to Werner Witschi, who contributed to the lecture with a talk and interesting insights into the life of a person with paraplegia and how technology can help to facilitate certain aspects.  We are looking forward to a great semester!  #BScHumanMedicine #MedicalEngineering

RELab & FHT Singapore-ETH Centre are at #BioRob2024! Meet Clément Lhoste, Eva Josse, Giada Devittori, Hao Ping Lin, Jessica Gantenbein, Keisuke Osawa, Shuyang Shi and Tim Unger to engage in exciting discussions about our research in beautiful Heidelberg during the IEEE RAS EMBS 10th International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics.

In the context of the GLC building’s recent opening celebrations, we not only had the pleasure to present our work to various visitors from the public, but Roger Gassert and Jessica Gantenbein also got to talk about the RELab ETH Zürich tenoexo alongside three other nice projects from D-HEST and D-ITET. Find out how a robotic hand exoskeleton, a lower limb exoskeleton for children (Chiara Basla, Sensory-Motor Systems Lab), a steering-by-leaning wheelchair (Reto Togni, Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics), and a robotic guide dog (Michele Magno, Center for Project-Based Learning) can be innovative helpers for everyday life!

Last week, we had the honor of exhibiting at the AI For Good Global Summit in Geneva. This incredible event provided us with a platform to showcase our research and connect with leaders from the AI community. At our booth, we presented ReHandyBot, our portable upper-limb rehabilitation device, and RehabCoach, the smartphone application designed to assist patients with at-home unsupervised ReHandyBot therapy.  Our team had an amazing time engaging with attendees, discussing the future of AI, and exploring collaborations that can drive positive change in the world of unsupervised rehabilitation. A huge thank you to the AI for Good team for this opportunity and to everyone who visited our booth! #AIforGood #Innovation  #AI #FutureTech #Collaboration #Research

With the end of the semester, also the first edition of our “Assistive Technology Challenge” course, inspired by the yearly HackaHealth hackathons, came to an end! The #ATChallenge is a hands-on, project-based course introducing students of the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST), ETH Zürich to assistive technologies to the principles of user-centered design and user evaluation, project management, as well as basic engineering tools. Together with a person with disability (challenger), they created innovative and customized solutions to solve one of their daily life challenge. Last Monday, the students showcased the three innovative solutions they created together with the challengers Lila, Giuliano, and Daniele over the past fourteen weeks: control inputs for accessible gaming, a custom wheelchair-compatible camera mount, and auditory feedback for a remote-controlled car.   Check out the final videos created by the student groups: https://lnkd.in/d5yr4-Aj Congratulations to all the students to the impressive results and many thanks to our partners and guest lecturers for their support! Philipp Keller Josua Muheim Zugang für alle, Susanna Berner Active Communication AG, Stephan Cecil Fox,  ETH Feasibility Lab, Peter Wolf Sensory-Motor Systems Lab, RESC ETH Zürich Zurich   #AssistiveTechnology #UserCenteredDesign #Cocreation #Education #ETHZurich
