Research Outputs

Publications, datasets and software from our work.

A running record of what we have produced — peer-reviewed articles, open datasets and the tools built along the way.

Projects

From 2022 to 2026 — from a completed exoskeleton usability study through to a proposal awaiting funding touching prodromal biomarker for early detection of neurodegenerative disease. The line traces how sure we are of each one.
