On the initiative of Ms Joanna Bellia, Senior Associate Academic at the Department of Occupational Therapy within the University’s Faculty of Health Sciences, a group of Occupational Therapy students visited the labs of the Department of Systems & Control Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering Building.

Dr Alexandra Bonnici, the Head of the Department, explained the various ongoing works related to human to computer interaction, such as eye-gaze tracking and EEG, the use of thermal imagery, human-motion capturing, robotics, and augmented reality.

The scope of the visit was to exchange ideas on how these technologies could assist practitioners in occupational therapy.

“It was quite an engaging visit, and the amount of interest shown is testament to how useful the students found it to be!”, said Dr Bonnici.
