TEDxKTH talk: Empowering Motion: The Future of Mobility Through Biomechanics, Innovation, and AI by Lanie Gutierrez-Farewik is now on Youtube

Elena (“Lanie”) Gutierrez-Farewik, a member of the Digital Futures faculty, a Professor of Biomechanics at KTH Engineering Mechanics and the director of the Promobilia MoveAbility Lab, is at the forefront of revolutionizing how we understand and assist human movement. With a unique blend of engineering and medical expertise and nearly a decade of clinical experience, Lanie’s work redefines possibilities for individuals with motion disorders.

In her talk ”Empowering Motion: The Future of Mobility Through Biomechanics, Innovation, and AI” at the event TEDxKTH – our digital futures, Lanie explores the factors that influence human movement and how these can be measured in laboratory settings and the real world. She delves into cutting-edge concepts for optimizing movement assistance, emphasizing the importance of personalized approaches.

Lanie illuminates the groundbreaking role of innovative technologies, including AI, in creating a future where physical disabilities no longer limit potential. With her talk, she wants to inspire a vision where technology and biomechanics converge to empower every individual to achieve the best possible mobility outcomes.

“TEDxKTH – our digital futures” was organized by Digital Futures at Ericsson Open Box, Kista, on 3 September 2024.
