Welcome
Welcome to the MaD Lab!
The researchers in the Machine Learning and Data Analytics (MaD) lab conduct theoretical and applied research for wearable computing systems and machine learning algorithms for engineering applications at the intersection of sports and health care. Our motivation is generating a positive impact on human wellbeing, be it through increasing performance, maintaining health, improving rehabilitation, or monitoring disease.
The MaD Lab is the home of the Innovation Lab for Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing, where students develop innovative prototypes with industry partners. Application period for upcoming summer term: 16.03.2020 – 21.04.2020 via StudOn!
Mobile gait analysis using wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) provides valuable insights for the assessment of movement impairments in different neurological and musculoskeletal diseases, like Parkinson's disease. In the journal article "Detection of gait from continuous inertial sensor data... Continue
