- Reposted by ISPGRCongratulations to Benjamin Filtjens for receiving the well-deserved #ISPGR2025 emerging scientist award. Great work on advancing ML work for gait assessment in Parkinson’s disease.
- Reposted by ISPGRReally enjoyed the exergames for health symposium at #ISPGR2025. There is solid evidence for its effects and hardware for fitness and clinical application (at home) is getting scalable (I am biased, but AR glasses from our sponsor #Strolll may be the goto tech soon for exergaming in neurorehab).
