Warfighter Digital Twin for Prehabilitation: Integration of Full-Field Motion Capture with Emerging Wearables and Bio-Physical Modeling
Abstract
Warfighter Digital Twin for Prehabilitation: Integration of Full-Field Motion Capture with Emerging Wearables and Bio-Physical Modeling.The acquisition of the Vicon system will enhance ongoing Office of Naval Research projects at the University of California-San Diego while enabling new research capabilities for warfighter protection and physiological monitoring and modeling. For instance, multifunctional wearable sensor platforms currently being developed for the Navy can be integrated with the Vicon motioncapture data to assemble sophisticated, multi-scale, Digital Twins of warfighters and subjects during training and exercise. Not only will global biomechanics features be extracted (e.g., for gait analysis), but local joint and muscle movements will also be quantified. The fusion of these multiscaledata streams to directly build state-of-the-art, image-based, multi-scale bio-physical models will establish a new platform for which warfighter performance assessment and prehabilitation can be achieved. This new infrastructure will provide unprecedented research-related education and training for students and researchers involved while strongly positioning this team to collaboratewith, for example, the Naval Health Research Center and Naval Medical Center San Diego.
