Medical Assistance Systems

On December 11, we were pleased to welcome Professor Klemme, Professor of Physiotherapy, together with students from Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences (HSBI) to our showroom.

The group consisted of therapists with completed vocational training and practical experience in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or speech and language therapy, who are currently enrolled in the Bachelor’s program in Health or the Master’s program in Vocational Education at HSBI.

During the visit, the students gained insights into various technical assistive systems and their research- and practice-oriented applications in therapy, diagnostics, and care. Two research projects were presented: the attention training system with the virtual agent Flobi, and the mobile robot Nao, designed to promote sports and physical activity among children and adolescents. In addition, the Ichó Ball and the robotic seal Paro were showcased as commercial products already in use for motor, linguistic, and cognitive support in care facilities.

We would like to thank everyone for the great interest and the open exchange, and we hope that the showroom visit provided an inspiring and valuable addition to the study programs.
