Last Saturday @jeanineVAncum won the Clinical Translational Research poster price at the ANZSSFR annual meeting 2018 #ANZSSFR2018 , with her poster ‘Gait speed assessed by a 4-meter walk test is not representative of daily-life gait speed in community dwelling adults’.

At the Alzheimer Europe Conference 2018, our PLAYTIME project won the poster award, to which our CEO Martijn contributed: bit.ly/2zcHI76

Our article “Instrumented Assessment of Physical Activity Is Associated With Muscle Function” has been published in Journal of Aging and Health bit.ly/2PLK2II
McRoberts has provided the accelerometers and collected and analyzed the physical activity data.

Combining our sensor technology with an innovative spirit allowed SAP and Bayer AG to create a new solution with the power to improve lives.

We will attend the European Respiratory Society Congress as visitors this year.
For those who are interested in physical activity in patients we have compiled a schedule (below). These are also the sessions that we will take part in.
Hope to meet you next week in Paris!
