Trends such as fitness lifestyle and vitality, quantified self, active ageing, or the outdoor boom, will greatly change the sports, health and wellness sector in the coming years. In combination with new technologies such as printed electronics, smart textiles, exoskeletons as well as advances in machine learning, this will redefine the way people stay fit and healthy.
In this pre-Congress symposium, we will share key insights and emerging perspectives of our ongoing Digital Motion-NEXT project. In three sessions, we will show how to bridge behaviour, technology and data to create meaningful impact and look forward to engaging discussions and exchange with the community.
