GESTUS Project
The GESTUS project is a European initiative focused on enhancing rehabilitation and physical performance monitoring by integrating IMU/GNSS technologies. Its core aim is to develop a digital solution that delivers highly accurate kinematic tracking of the human body in real-time during activities like sports, daily routines, or therapeutic exercises.
This advanced tracking solution supports professionals—such as physicians, physical therapists, and trainers—with real-time movement data to improve diagnosis, therapy planning, and patient outcomes.
Project Goals
- To infer intelligent clinical reasoning
Enhance diagnosis accuracy by reducing errors—addressing a strong need among clinicians and therapists. - To provide institutions with a tool that improves care efficiency and lowers the cost of managing degenerative and/or chronic diseases across all age groups.
- To help specialists understand how to maintain balance between fatigue and well-being in rehabilitation and athletic training contexts.
Timeline & Funding
- Duration: November 2024 – May 2027 (2.5 years)
- RiMS Budget: €70,000
*IMU = Inertial Measurement Unit | GNSS = Global Navigation Satellite System
Together, these systems form the GNSS-IMU synergy used for precise orientation and movement analysis.
