EuroMov Digital Health in Motion (EuroMov DHM)
The “EuroMov Digital Health in Motion” research unit aims to foster cross-fertilization between artificial intelligence, movement sciences, and health to understand human behavioral plasticity in order to improve sensorimotor performance and explore new therapeutic approaches, and to find in this a scientific metaphor that serves as a source of inspiration for new digital approaches: machine learning or adaptive control of complex systems, human-machine interaction, and context-aware software systems.
This line of research on “Digital Health in Motion” ultimately aims to better understand the etiology of human movement—considered as the level at which biological and cognitive phenomena are integrated—during our ongoing exchange of information with the environment.
The research unit is organized into three scientific themes and two cross-cutting areas:
- Theme: Perception in Action & Synchronization (PIAS): to explore the laws governing human perception in moving agents (perception in action) and human-environment synchronization in general.
- Monitoring and Improving Behaviors (MIB) Theme: To provide users with guidance on improving their behaviors in order to achieve better health, quality of life, or athletic performance, with a particular focus on software engineering.
- The Learning and Complexity (LAC) research theme focuses on the study of human learning and complexity through movement signatures in health, clinical data, and indicators of neural activity, with a particular emphasis on developing interpretable models.
- Cross-cutting research area: Semantics and Taxonomy of Movement (SemTaxM): to identify taxonomic classifications of movement and to define a theory of movement-based semantics and semantic models grounded in specific contexts.
- The Factory cross-cutting initiative aims to improve the reproducibility of results and accelerate translational research and technology transfer by providing standardized and documented approaches, along with an open data dissemination strategy.
