PhD Studentship: Digital Movement Biomarkers of Mood and Fatigue in Older Adults University of Exeter in United Kingdom

[Fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD Studentship at the University of Exeter: Computer vision to predict falls from everyday movement in older adults . This project addresses an important clinical problem: falls are a major cause of injury-related hospital admission and death among older adults, yet current risk assessment methods are limited because they usually rely on brief one-off clinical tests. The project will use real-world-inspired movement data collected in the ST...

University of Southampton is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in Digital Biomarkers for Mobility Decline and Falls in Dementia . This project sits at the intersection of Biomedical Engineering , Computer Science , Neuroscience , Statistics , and Medical Science . The research will explore whether wearable sensor technology can detect early mobility decline before it becomes visible in routine clinical assessment. By analysing real-world movement data, the project aims to identify subtl...
