GaitXR

Project Description

We are a European partnership committed to advancing healthcare education and patient care through technology. Our project focuses on the development and implementation of an XR-based gait training tool to support healthcare graduates and professionals working with elderly people experiencing mild dementia.

Our project mission is to empower healthcare professionals with innovative tools and training that improve patient mobility, reduce fall risks, and enhance overall well-being in ageing populations.

Our work not only aims to improve individual patient outcomes, but also equips healthcare organisations and educational institutions with guidelines for implementing XR in practice, curriculum-ready training materials, and tools for long-term improvements in care delivery.

Main objectives

• Develop and implement an XR tool for gait training to enhance digital readiness and offer innovative skill development opportunities, addressing digital transformation priorities.
• Develop an Educational Programme Manual and provide training at local and multinational level.
• Pilot test the XR tool in elderly populations to ensure its suitability and promote its adoption in healthcare training programmes.
