Assessment in Neurological Diseases and Disorders (Project Work)

What it is about

In the intensive project week you will learn the fundamentals of neurology as well as clinically and technologically supported assessment. You will develop instrumented tests in heterogeneous small groups, trial them on a small patient sample, and gain insights into neurorehabilitation through an excursion.

What you will be able to do

• Critically apply advanced knowledge of neurological diseases
• Evaluate the possibilities and limits of technology for behavior assessment
• Apply and further develop technology for behavior assessment in neurology

What the module consists of

• VorträgeConveying foundational knowledge and subject input
• Praktische Einheiten / Hands-onIntroduction to clinical tests, measurement systems, development of smart applications and data processing
• KleingruppenprojektDevelopment of instrumented tests and testing on patients
• ExkursionVisit to a neurorehabilitation facility for insight into clinical practice and data collection
• Teambuilding / FokusgruppendiskussionenPromotion of interdisciplinary exchange, networking and handling different disciplinary perspectives
