This new solution is based on Fujitsu's 3D sensing technology for quantification of athlete's movements and was developed in collaboration with the
Fujitsu's 3D sensing technology enables a marker-less analysis and digitalization of complex human body movements using AI. Users will perform five different poses in front of a webcam, enabling the AI technology to automatically analyze and examine the flexibility and range of motion of their torso. The AI's analysis will allow it to suggest customized exercises to users that can help to enhance their health.
By leveraging its technology to digitalize complex human body movements, Fujitsu strives to offer new solutions to support people's well-being.
Background
Adverse health effects and frailty from physical inactivity have become an increasingly urgent issue in the face of COVID-19 related restrictions and a rapidly ageing society.
Addressing these challenges, Fujitsu has developed a prototype health promotion solution leveraging its 3D sensing technology to measure and digitalize complex human movements. With the new solution, Fujitsu strives to actively support both peoples' physical and mental well-being.
Fujitsu will exhibit the technology at several locations of
About the new solution
Users take five different poses instructed by the application in front of a web cam. The AI subsequently applies a "skeleton" to the body data it captures and measures the flexibility and range of movement of each body part, especially that of the hip area. The AI then evaluates the measured data, suggesting users personalized exercises to improve their health.
The poses, evaluation model, and exercises used by the application are based on sport-scientific research results from Professor
About the demonstration of the new technology
1. Period:
2. Location:
3. Target:
4. Demo flow: Users take five different poses instructed by an application in front of a webcam and then receive suggestions for exercises for improvement based on the evaluation results
5. Duration: Approximately 5 minutes
6. Details: The demonstration shall serve to gather feedback from users regarding their overall experience with the new technology and their satisfaction with the measurement results. Their feedback shall be used to consider a commercialization of this technology and further expand the scope of the technology.
Comments from Dr.
"The policy of the
Training of the lower back and the lower body is recognized as one of the key factors in preventing frailty of elderly people and can thus help them to live a longer, healthy life. I therefore have high expectations towards Fujitsu's new solution."
Comments from Professor
"Improving the functions of the lower back and torso requires methods that are tailored to individual physical conditions.
This solution combines my research in sports science with Fujitsu's technology to digitize complex human movements and can visualize the state of the user's body and automatically suggest improvements adjusted to the needs of each individual user. As the solution is very easy to use it can help users to regularly check their condition and encourage them to continue their sports activities."
