معرفی
Dr. Alan Godfrey is a researcher at Newcastle University specializing in biomedical engineering, geriatrics, and movement analysis. His work focuses on wearable sensor technology for assessing gait, postural control, and physical activity in older adults, Parkinson's disease patients, and cancer survivors. Collaborating extensively with Professor Lynn Rochester, Dr. Godfrey's research spans rehabilitation engineering, oncology, and digital health applications.
- Key research areas: Biomedical Engineering, Parkinson's Disease, Wearable Sensors, Ageing
- Major collaborations: Professor Lynn Rochester, Dr. Silvia Del Din, Dr. Brook Galna
- Technologies: Accelerometry, Eye-tracking, Exergaming, Free-living monitoring
His recent publications (2016-2024) analyze gait variability, postural transitions, and ambulatory activity using wearable accelerometers, with applications in Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, and musculoskeletal oncology. He has contributed to validation studies for motion capture systems and developed algorithms for step detection and postural control assessment.
Dr. Godfrey's work intersects geriatric health, digital health technology validation, and rehabilitation science, particularly in Parkinson's disease and cancer recovery contexts. His research emphasizes translating sensor-based metrics into clinical practice for improved functional outcome assessments.
