LOVOT – a new social robot from Groove X in Japan has arrived to Aalborg University.
The LOVOTs are named Anne and Lars and will be tested for the first time outside Japan in interaction with citizens with dementia this spring in collaboration with Aalborg, Viborg and Skive Municipalities.
The LOVOTs are designed to create joy, has memory (AI), remember people, recognizes own name and has unique personalities that develops over time.
The National Health Authorities in Denmark are funding the project.
TTRN – CITRIS International Summer Institute August 10–14, 2020 at University of California, Berkeley.
The Danish-American Transatlantic Telehealth Research Network (TTRN) is dedicated to developing cutting-edge research and innovation within telehealth. The 2020 topics include research methods and approaches for health informatics, tele- and digital-health, plus a special focus on data science, robotics, artificial intelligence, and associated data governance and ethical-legal issues.
Doctoral students and post-doctoral trainees may apply to be a Fellow which comes with partial funding. Fellowship applications will be accepted on a rolling basis from January 8, 2020 to February 28, 2020. Priority will be given to early applicants.
Advanced master’s students and faculty new to the topic area may register on a space available basis starting March 1. 2020
Program Committee: Chair Katherine Kim, Birthe Dinesen, Nick Anderson, Kristian Kidholm, David Lindeman, and Student Representative Cynthia Matsumoto.
JD TeleTech has had the 4th workshop on ehealth December 2-6 2019 in Tokyo in collaboration with Invest in Denmark and the Royal Danish Embassy in Tokyo. A Danish delegation of companies, researcher and healthcare professionals participated.
It was an amazing week where we gained new knowledge on the Japanese healthcare system and ehealth, made MOU with Jutendo University & Hospital, agreements with companies, two fruitful roundtables on “children and ehealth” and “elderly and ehealth” with over 130 participants and new ideas for collaboration between Japan and Denmark on ehealth.
Thank you so much to Peter Takizawa, Rumi Iida and Joakim Steen Barron-Mikkelsen for supporting the events.

WHINN 2019: Birthe Dinesen har idag givet oplæg på WHINN konferencen om ”Future Patient-telerehabilitering af hjertesvigtspatienter” i Viborg, Skive, Silkeborg og Randers som et eksempel på fremtidens rehabilitering af hjertepatienter. Det var en spændende session ledet af professor Jane Clemmensen, CIMT, OUH og med et inspirerende indlæg af Kevin Dean samt update på den nationale implementering af KOL hjemmemonitorering af Mette Harbo, digitaliseringschef i Københavns Kommune.
Tak for en spændende session og veltilrettelagt WHINN konference 2019 i Odense.
The scope of the Ph.D. project covers the evaluation of the use of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies for the mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications (Remote healthcare, traffic safety & control, smart grid automation, etc.). Unlike in the case of massive IoT applications, Critical IoT applications have more strict requirements for network performance such as higher level of security, high resiliency, low latency, scalability, and interoperability with existing communication systems.
The goal of the project is to do a thorough investigation of all the available communication technologies from an end to end perspective. The idea here is to identify which of the technology or combination of technologies that are cable of supporting all the needs of critical IoT applications.
The project also involves investigation the current infrastructure and either suggesting changes to it or proposing a new network architecture that is cable of transferring critical data more reliably and securely through the network. This part of the project involves working closely with other universities in Denmark and Japan, and Industrial partners to implement and test some of the upcoming wireless technologies for critical IoT application.
To begin with, the project includes collaboration with the Department of Health Science and Technology at Aalborg University on Future patient project. The project will primarily focus on real-time monitoring of patient’s data using the IoT technologies.
Bianca Clavio Christensen, som er er PhD studerende ved Laboratoriet for Velfærdsteknologi, AAU, har afholdt workshop med hjertesvigtspatienter og pårørende på Viborg Sundhedscenter. Formålet er at udvikle gamification til at motivere hjertesvigtspatienter i et telerehabiliteringsprogram.
Der var over 15 hjertesvigstpatienter og pårørende til den første i en række af flere workshops inden der foreligger en prototype til HjertePortalen.dk i Future Patient projektet.
Today, EON Reality and Teslasuit visited Department of Health Science and Technology (HST).
The aim of the visit was to discuss potential future collaboration and use of Virtual Reality (VR) in teaching and research. A demonstration of the companies’ technologies framed the discussions, and new ideas for future teaching and research methods appeared.
EON Reality demonstrated the Teslasuit that has a built-in full body haptic feedback system and can be engaged on actions, on demand, or in response to motion capture comparison.
EON Reality’s founder, CTO and researchers, and the CTO and researchers from Teslasuits participated and met with researchers, teachers, and management from HST.
Saturday September 28 former US President Barack Obama visited Musikkens Hus, Aalborg, to give a talk on future leadership and entrepreneurship.
Cathrine, Kasper, Jens and Lahila, who are students working with Laboratory for Welfare Technology, Department of Health Science and Technology at Aalborg University, had the opportunity to hear the talk of Obama. They said it was very very inspiring.
Thank you to Aalborg University for giving the students the opportunity to participate in this important event.
