EDUWEAR: Engineering Educational Competence Development on Customisable Wearable Rehabilitation Devices: Wodehouse, Andrew (Principal Investigator) MacLachlan, Ross (Co-investigator); The overall aim of EDUWEAR is to develop an e-learning course, together with a set of hands-on exercises, collectively aimed to equip learners with knowledge and competences in developing customisable wearable devices for rehabilitation. Objectives include:

- establish a common course between the engineering and health sciences faculties of the EU countries for developing healthcare products, using bespoke wearables for rehabilitation as case studies
- contribute to the standardisation of the course content which would eliminate the competences gap in EU countries concerning healthcare product development
- promote innovative use cases of the FabLab concept in engineering education on an international scale
- promote the application of a range of engineering design tools
- develop adequate course and educational materials for students to receive training that would allow them to develop and test products for target audiences in healthcare
- provide guidance to trainers on best practices to transfer knowledge on the development of such devices and;
- learn in identifying and collaborating with other professionals outside the field of engineering, for example, allied health professionals, people from the ICT field and product users, as co-designers; 01-Jan-2024 - 31-Jan-2027
