Work description

Lake Lucerne Institute is a non-profit research centre with a research focus on developing and implementing technological solutions to improve neurorehabilitation outcomes. We work on digital, objective assessment solutions and their implementation into clinical routine. These are used to evaluate novel interventions applying a broad range of tools (fMRI, EEG, neurophysiology, movement analysis, mixed reality, robotics). The institute works closely with a neurorehabilitation centre to ensure true multi-stakeholder integration within each research project. The Therapy Science Lab is a research lab within LLUI.To support our ongoing research projects, we are looking for a student with enthusiasm for web based health applications. We are passionate about bringing innovation to the field in neurorehabilitation, and you should equally bring a strong drive to work on real-world projects that have a direct impact on patients’ rehabilitation experience.Project BackgroundThe Therapy Science Labs vision is rehabilitation where treatment protocols are intelligently, continuously and seamlessly adapted to the needs of each individual. Our mission is ubiquitous rehabilitation where interventions are tailored to patient trajectories modelled based on data from ubiquitous assessments and multiple data streams, along the rehabilitation continuum, from the hospital and inpatient rehabilitation to home rehabilitation.In previous master's theses, a web application was developed using a user-centered approach for online speech and language therapy. This application includes a digitized, standardized assessment, video and audio recording functionalities, AI supported signal analysis, reporting, and additional features such as note-taking. Currently, the application exists as a front-end-only adaptation.The next development cycle should focus on the validation of the assessment prototypes’ novel features, that expand beyond the paper based assessment. It will involve validation with the main user group, that is speech and language pathologists, to verify or falisfy whether the digitized assessment adds clinically valid and meaningful information to the assessment process.Project Tasks (estimated %)• Literature search (10%)• Study objective definition (15%)• Develop study protocol (20%)• Support ethics application (10%)• Develop recruitment pathways (20%)• Application and database management (15%)• Backwards-compatible updates and risk controlled adjustments to the frontend and backend (10%)
