The TV team from P3TV visited the Digital Health Lab at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences to cover the Citizen Science project ACCESS. The feature highlights how modern motion analysis, people living with knee osteoarthritis, and research at the intersection of health and technology come together. Watch the video on YouTube.
Research that Enables Participation
In the ACCESS project, the team from the Center for Digital Health and Social Innovation (CDHSI) and the Institute of Health Sciences (IGW) explores how markerless motion analysis systems – such as smartphone-based tools like OpenCap – can make clinical gait analysis more accessible, cost-effective, and suitable for everyday use.
Together with physiotherapists from the GLAD-Austria network, FH-Prof. Priv.-Doz. Dr. Brian Horsak and his team study how people with knee osteoarthritis can actively participate in data collection and analysis. This is Citizen Science at its best – science to take part in.
Joining Forces for New Paths in Prevention and Rehabilitation
ACCESS demonstrates how technological innovation and public participation can go hand in hand. When patients, therapists, and researchers work together, digital health turns into real-world movement – in science and in everyday life alike.
