SAT Symposium – Skeleton Avatar Technique for Movement Analysis in Health Promotion and Rehabilitation
Welcome to an international symposium where research, innovation, and future health technologies come together. Throughout the day, researchers and experts from computer science, medicine, physiotherapy, sports science, and health technology will explore how Skeleton Avatar Technique (SAT) for movement analysis can be translated into clinical practice, prevention, and modern healthcare systems.
The symposium offers a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions in a focused and collaborative research environment, build new international connections, and contribute to the development of future research collaborations and funding initiatives.
As a participant, you will have the opportunity to:
• discuss current research challenges with both senior and emerging researchers
• contribute to shaping a shared international research agenda
• explore concrete opportunities for collaboration and future funding
• become part of a growing international research network centred at Linnaeus University
The symposium is a satellite event to the 12th Big Data Conference at Linnaeus University and the 5th International Symposium on Digital Transformation.
The event will be held in English.
