Wearables are used to recognize human activities in various applications. However, there is limited evidence on the comfort feelings in using wearables, which is crucial for the adoption and long-term engagement of users in those applications. In this paper, we propose the concept of comfort wearables in the context of in-flight posture...

Every year over 30.000 patients in the Netherlands alone are operated to repair a damaged meniscus. Damage to the meniscus occurs due to a combination of excessive torque and compression forces on the knee joint. The current arthroscopic cutters that are used during meniscectomies can only reach limited areas of the meniscus. During the...

3D Digital Human Models (DHMs) provide industrial designers 3D and 4D information on the dimensions of the human body and its range of motion. Current models are based on outdated data from research on military populations making them unrepresentative for civilian populations. Available DHMs require experience to properly use them, are vague on...

The lower leg stump is not a stable volume. Volume changes during the day between -10% and +5% may occur and these are caused by fluid movements in the stump. These volume changes can mess up a good fitting prosthetic socket and this can lead to pain and injuries. A new invention called “Unimode Beams” solves this issue by placing over 100 beams...

Digital human models are often used for ergonomic analysis of product designs, before physical prototypes are available. However, existing digital human models cannot be used to simultaneously: 1) consider the tissue loads and the physiological effects of the tissue loads; 2) optimise the product properties. This paper develops multi-dimensional...
