Dr. Lu, Hsuan-Yu, a lecturer at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Macao Polytechnic University, obtained a doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering Department, National Taiwan University. I had two years of postdoctoral research experience in Biomedical Engineering Department, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 2023, I participated in Geneva International Invention Exhibition with title of Stroke Rehabilitation Training System using Augmented Reality and won a Silver Medal. In 2024, I won a Gold Medal at the Silicon Valley International Invention Exhibition with the self-developed Markerless Gait Training System. Leveraging past clinical experience as an occupational therapist and combining it with academic research knowledge in Biomedical Engineering, my research scope includes Motion Capture System, Wearable & Markerless Tracking System and Medical Imaging.

Our research team is named “Intelligent Rehabilitation Engineering & Movement Analysis Laboratory (IRE)”, and our research work includes a state-of-the-art Motion Capture System, Wearable Sensor, Depth Sensor, Medical Imaging and Sport Technology. Drawing on multidisciplinary research skills, we aimed to develop an AI-based fall risk and balance assessment system using IMUs to facilitate remote clinical assessments and deliver interpretable biomechanical insights into balance and fall risk outcomes. A markerless tracking method using depth sensors is developed to quantify the kinematics of 3D joint angles and the Centre of Mass (COM). This measurement approach could be applied to sports performance and rehabilitation training. By integrating the ongoing self-developed system and rehabilitation engineering techniques, a healthcare system for assessment, training, and monitoring has been developed for the elderly or patients with motor impairment. Our goal is to serve the community and address clinical issues through our research.

To date, our research team has published over 15 peer-reviewed scientific papers in high-impact journals including Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, and Scientific Reports. Our research work was supported by competitive funding from MPU, the Macao SAR Government. To promote the multidisciplinary research fruit for clinical applications, we actively cooperate with healthy ageing, science education institutions and hospitals.
