Description:
This PhD course will take its asset to one of the main challenges that western countries have to face: The ageing of the society. Ageing is associated with physiological deterioration of the cardio-vascular, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal systems. The focus of the course will be on the digital technologies applied in laboratory- and home-based approaches that can be used to maintain or improve the level of activity of older adults. Aspects related to technology readiness level will be approached.
The detailed agenda of the course will be provided on the course web site. Main topics will include lung function, balance, biomechanics, motor coordination, digital technologies.
Literature:
A reading list with relevant papers and/or book chapters will be announced before the course.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge on anatomy, physiology and technology is desirable.
Evaluation:
A multiple-choice test will be used to evaluate the student’s outcome of the course.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registration.
