The Mobilize Center and Restore Center at Stanford University invite you to join our next webinar, featuring Melissa Boswell from Stanford University.

Title: Sit2Stand – Assessing Health and Mobility from Smartphone Videos
Speaker: Melissa Boswell, Stanford University
Time: Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time

ABSTRACT
Physical function decline due to aging or disease can be assessed with quantitative motion analysis, but this currently requires expensive laboratory equipment. To address this limitation, Drs. Boswell and Kidziński developed a platform (sit2stand.ai) to deploy a nationwide at-home biomechanics study that included an order of magnitude more participants than traditional laboratory studies. With this large dataset, we explored new relationships between biomechanical parameters and measures of health and well-being.
In the first part of this webinar, Dr. Boswell will present their web application to capture and automatically analyze self-collected at-home videos of the five-repetition sit-to-stand test. From a single smartphone video, the tool estimates joint locations (via OpenPose), and then computes the total time to complete the test and several relevant biomechanical parameters, like trunk angle. She will review the research study results, motion capture validation, and translation of their tool into an ongoing decentralized clinical trial. In the second part of this webinar, Dr. Boswell will share how to use the Sit2Stand tool for your own data collection and implement their processing and analysis pipelines. Finally, she will conclude with best practices and pitfalls of conducting large-scale digital studies.
This webinar is for those interested in contributing to a future where simple, scalable movement assessments are used to evaluate health and treat musculoskeletal diseases.
