Grant Trewartha is a Professor of Digital Healthcare Interventions at Teesside University's School of Health and Life Sciences (joined August 2023). He holds an honorary Reader position at the University of Bath and previously served as Head of Biomechanics at NURVV Ltd (2016–2023), a wearable technology startup. His academic background includes a BSc in Sports Science (Loughborough University, 1997) and a PhD in Biomechanics/Computer Vision (Loughborough, 2001), awarded for work on 3D human movement tracking that won international accolades.
His research focuses on digital mobility monitoring, including remote gait analysis, wearable tech for injury prevention, and rehabilitation. Key collaborations involve Dr. Ezio Preatoni (University of Bath) on machine learning for motion analysis and Dr. Dario Cazzola (University of Bath) on computational musculoskeletal modeling. He leads the 'AI-empowered Mobile Application System for Amputee Gait Training' project (2023–2024).
- Research Highlights: Wearable sensors for ground reaction force prediction, gait symmetry detection in amputees, and clustering of runner kinematics.
- Industry Experience: 7 years at NURVV Ltd, contributing to end-to-end product development for motion monitoring.
Publications span peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Respiratory Medicine, Sports Biomechanics) and datasets like 'Full Body Kinematics of Runners' (University of Bath). Media mentions include ITV News West coverage of NURVV's innovations.
