- This collaborative work with the RNOH-NHS trust developed the bespoke neck collar for female patient suffering from rare neurological condition. The patient was unable to hold up her neck due to muscle loss, severely impacting her quality of life, with no alternative solution. The neck-collar developed led to significant improvements to her posture, comfort and breathing. Following this, received EPSRC-DTP PhD funding (2020-24, £93K) to develop neck collars for Motor Neuron Disease patients. The automated workflow could be adopted by the hospitals, greatly widening the potential use and impact of this work.
