Digital Human Model for Postural Assessment - Postural Visualisation Application
Abstract
dc:description.abstractPostural assessment is a vital process that enables clinicians to diagnose abnormalities and suggest treatment to improve a patient’s quality of life. However, the current methods of assessment and practices of data recording are non-standardised and do not utilise the opportunity modern mobile technology provides to improve the assessment experience for all parties involved.<br/><br/>This project aimed to enable clinicians to enhance their posture assessment process with the use of cutting-edge augmented reality technology to improve how measurements are taken, implemented as part of a complete system that standardises the data recording and transfer process to improve the efficiency of those processes and enables data to be more easily understood by other people.<br/><br/>An Android-compatible mobile application with ARCore technology was developed that provides features for static and real-time capture, to add annotations onto said captures, and to send data to a server with standardised methods. This was achieved by identifying clinician’s needs through survey and developing an application to solve the identified problems, ultimately achieving a measurement accuracy of approximately 1 to 1.5cm.
