The COMET project Digital Motion NEXT (DiMo-NEXT) continues to grow: with three new partners, the consortium is expanding to include leading experts from the fields of exoskeleton technologies, rehabilitation and winter sports. Together, they are developing innovative digital solutions for recording, analysing and optimising movement – with the aim of improving health, performance and safety through data-based insights.
FIS – Intelligent ski bindings of the future
As part of DiMo-NEXT, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) is researching smart and digital options for binding release in alpine ski racing. The aim of the development is to support the mechanical release properties of ski bindings with smart features such as voice control in order to increase the safety of athletes.
awb – Intelligent exoskeletons for the world of work
With awb, DiMo-NEXT gains an experienced partner in the field of exoskeleton technologies. Together, they aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of a new soft exoskeleton that supports static and dynamic movements. The textile system, which can be worn under work clothes, is intended for use in physically demanding professions, such as nursing.
Tyromotion – Rehabilitation reimagined
Austrian medtech specialist Tyromotion complements the consortium with its in-depth expertise in robot-assisted rehabilitation. Building on the existing robotic gait trainer ‘LEXO’, DiMo-NEXT is developing a holistic motion capture system based on 3D cameras. This system provides real-time feedback on posture and movement during training and uses gamification elements to train everyday situations in a virtual 3D environment.
