Outstanding Innovation in digital health and social care

Pioneering research from the University of Portsmouth is using AI, scanning sensors developed by Langner and new intelligent sensors from TGA / Gems Sensors to open up a new world of possibilities for children with disabilities. The work has won an E&T International Innovation Award. The Awards celebrate people, projects and organisations revolutionising the world through excellence in engineering and technology. The University won the Excellence in Creating a Smarter World award. The University of Portsmouth collaborated with the Chailey Heritage Foundation to develop intelligent real-time digital systems to enhance the use of powered wheelchairs. These will enable children with high levels of disability to drive their own wheelchairs. Some for the very first time.
