[ 06 ]  International partnership

Translational research with Leeds Beckett University.

In November 2017, Leeds Beckett University (UK) and Axxonet Global signed a Memorandum of Understanding for joint research and development across physical and mental health, medical technologies, digital health, forensic sciences and cyber & digital security, including joint bids for research funding and delivery of distance learning.

Flagship project · Clasp

Sensor-based movement measurement in Parkinson's disease.

Clasp, Axxonet's high-precision multi-sensory glove fitted with accelerometer and flexor sensors, is being applied by Dr Sareen Galbraith's team in the School of Health at Leeds Beckett, with Dr Walied Mowafi at Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, to develop sensitive, reproducible measurement of upper-limb movement in Parkinson's patients, complementing specialist neurological assessment.

First funded through the Translate medical-technologies partnership, the project was subsequently backed by Grow MedTech, a ~£10m programme led by the University of Leeds under Research England's Connecting Capability Fund, supporting clinical evaluation, regulatory approval and connection of the glove's sensors to a mobile app.
