Project: 3D Photonic Scanning of the Offshore Workforce
Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
Project: Augmenting Cultural Collections and Historic Sites through Visual Interfaces
Body measurements of UK offshore workforce have previously
relied on manual anthropometry. A 19% mean weight gain
since the mid-1980s means larger individuals, although the
precise dimensions remain unknown. Portable 3D scanning
has enabled such data to be acquired reliably, cost effectively
and remotely, which will inform future size and space-related
design.

Project: Smart Solutions for Connected Health
The major impact that the increasing prevalence of diseases
and resources used per patient have on the health systems
motivates a great effort in the development of personalised
integrated solutions for reliable, secure and real-time e-health
service delivery at homes and remote locations. New
developments in this field are presented including embedded
intelligent fall detection systems, automatic diagnosis support
engines, and navigation tools.

Project: WorkflowFM: A formal modelling framework for healthcare
WorkflowFM is a framework for the modelling and automatic
deployment of systematic, formally verified workflows of
healthcare processes. Using an integrated logical engine,
WorkflowFM guarantees various important properties such
as consistency, continuity, systematic resource accounting,
information governance, and guideline enforcement, thereby
improving medical staff efficiency and patient safety.

Cultural institutions carry rich collections of information.
However, on-site, that is, at the museum or on a historic
location, only a fraction of this information is visible. In
collaboration with the University Museum of St Andrews
(MUSA) and Historic Scotland, we explore how we can make
use of interactive technology to make large historic and cultural
collections available and explorable.
