Health Tech Lunch - Chris Awai - “HealthCore: A modular data collection ecosystem to connect the dots in Neurorehab”

The Axe Santé is organising a Health Tech Lunch on Friday, September 27th from 12:00 to 13:00 at Swiss Digital Center in Sierre (room Maïa).

Biography : Chris Awai is Chief Scientific Officer at Lake Lucerne Institute and Director of the Data Analytics & Rehabilitation Technology (DART) Lab. His research focusses on three main questions: a) Modelling individual rehabilitation trajectories after stroke and allocating appropriate interventions, b) Leveraging real-time feedback across the continuum of care for motor learning, and c) Assessment and prevention of falls. With a PhD in health sciences and biomechanics from the University of Sydney and University of Nice, he has developed biomarkers of movement quality and methods to track these in high performance athletes and persons with neurological injury. He has co-authored over 50 publications, lectures at 4 higher education institutes, and has created a dedicated Master’s program for Precision Neurorehabilitation at LLUI. He is member of the advisory boards of various companies in the neurorehabilitation space and is fully dedicated to bringing the outcomes of his research into clinical practice at scale.
