Fusing Cinematic Motion-Capture and AI to Treat Movement Disorders

Link — Tech

Researchers at the University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London are exploring how motion-capture technology and AI can work in tandem to treat disorders that impair movement. The two-pronged approach utilizes an Animazoo IGS-180 motion capture suit to gather data about patient mobility which surveys the body more quickly and efficiently than the standard method of a neurologist checking individual patients themselves.

It’s composed of a metal with a low-melting point called gallium which researchers then embedded with magnets to control movement. Through the …
