On Tuesday May 4th, the first HelpMeWalk project consortium meeting was held at the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz (Muttenz, Switzerland). The meeting was attended by 12 people, including researchers, engineers, students and project managers.
The morning was dedicated to a visit of the FHNW laboratories with a presentation of the different projects carried out by Joris Pascal’s team. The second part of the day was dedicated to the administrative and financial aspects of the Offensive Science programme. In the afternoon, duoTEC, an associate partner in the project, presented its expertise in the encapsulation and integration of electronic devices. Finally, there were discussions between the project partners on the various project work packages: encapsulation of the measurement system in a resin making it more rigid and less sensitive to humidity, fixing the sensors to the skin or to a suitable ankle support, available data and improving their quality with a view to their future use in reconstructing the 3D model, and a protocol for using the device.
The consortium plans to meet again before the end of the year at the HSKL campus in Zweibrücken.
