We introduce the 4D4ALL Lab, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing healthcare through advanced 4D (3D over time) body scanning technology. As the world’s leading facility in this field, the lab provides unparalleled precision in capturing 3D human body shapes in motion, driving innovations in personalized medicine.
Key Benefits for Society:
- Personalized Physiotherapy: Developing customized therapy plans tailored to each patient’s unique body and movement patterns for faster, more effective recovery.
- Medical and Ergonomic Applications: Utilizing anthropometry and biomechanics for better medical and ergonomic solutions.
- Speech-Language Pathologies: Quantifying facial motions to support treatments for speech-language pathologies, thereby improving communication abilities.
- Neurological Diseases: Pioneering front-end technology for the study and treatment of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, stroke, and multiple sclerosis.
- Enhancing Athletic Performance: Improving sport performance through wind-tunnel experiments that model the aerodynamics of kinetic product-human units in e.g. biking.
- Body Image Awareness for Eating Disorders: Providing precise body imaging to support the treatment of eating disorders by fostering a better understanding of body consciousness and aiding in therapeutic strategies.
- Personalized assistive products, such as prostheses, walking aids, so that people can live independently and participate in activities.
Supporting the 4D4ALL Lab means investing in a future where healthcare is precise, accessible, and effective. Your support will enable us to continue pioneering advancements that directly benefit society by improving health outcomes and enhancing quality of life.
