Professor Sowon Hahn visited Barnard College as a recipient of the Gildersleeve Professorship Fund. During her visit, Professor Hahn delivered a guest lecture in Professor Chisa Hidaka's Anatomy Lab course, focusing on her groundbreaking research topic: AI-Assisted Human Movement Rehabilitation.
The lecture highlighted the transformative role of digital platforms, virtual reality (VR), and mobile applications in modern movement rehabilitation practices. Professor Hahn showcased cutting-edge advancements, including VR-based occupational therapy, robotic fitness coaching, and wearable device-based movement feedback systems. She provided an in-depth exploration of the practical applications and future potential of AI-driven tools in human movement rehabilitation, emphasizing their impact on therapy and fitness.
Joining Professor Hahn was her colleague, Dr. Yumi Ju, who presented an innovative VR program called Virtual Kitchen Errand Task (VKET). This program uses kitchen tasks as a medium for cognitive evaluation and rehabilitation, specifically designed to support elderly individuals.
The event offered attendees valuable insights into the rapidly evolving field of AI-assisted rehabilitation, inspiring discussions about its possibilities and challenges in enhancing human health and well-being. [link]
