Researchers develop bionic foot that restores a natural walking patternResearchers at the University of Twente and Radboudumc are developing a new generation of prosthetic technology: a bionic foot that closely replicates the body’s natural walking motion. Within the HealthTech Nexus partnership, they are working on the so‑called ‘Autonomous leg’, a system designed to support people after a foot amputation in regaining a smooth and effortless gait.Read more
Collaboration within PIHC should further improve diabetes careIncreasingly, people with type 1 diabetes are wearing a glucose sensor. These sensors measure blood glucose levels day and night, generating enormous amounts of data - but what happens with all that information? ZGT and the University of Twente (TechMed Centre) are collaborating on DIABASE within the Pioneers in Health Care (PIHC) programme. This database integrates data from glucose sensors and insulin pumps with hospital information. This long-term project links sensor and pump data to hospital information -the goal: less guesswork, faster adjustments.Read more
