Research Project We are offering two Master’s projects (10 ECTs) focused on the practical application of 3D human pose estimation.  This project connects hardware setup with software applications by creating a multi-camera data collection system and deploying advanced pose-estimation models to analyze the captured data. The student will be responsible for the end-to-end process of…

Research Internship / Project Background: The effects of excessive social media use remain a relatively underexplored area. Given how common and frequent smartphone use has become, this topic is currently a relevant research field. Among other things, it raises the question of whether frequent social media use has (negative) effects on human physiology. The aim…

Bachelor’s / Master’s Thesis / Research Internship / Project The aim of our research is to explore the potential of digital technologies in psychological research to better understand human psychology and behavior.

We are proud to share our latest study, published in MDPI Audiology Research, in collaboration with WS Audiology! Together, we explored how hearing aid amplification affects gait performance using hearing-aid integrated motion sensors. Our study showed that in low cognitive demand settings, amplification doesn’t significantly change walking, but it highlights the huge potential of earables for…

We are excited to share our latest study, published in JMIR Human Factors, which resulted from a collaboration with the amazing team from ProCarement GmbH. Together, we explored how we can support patients through better knowledge transfer and patient engagement in their digital health app ProHerz. Working with ProCarement allowed us to combine research and…
