During my masters assignment, I worked on redesigning the 3D stress foot plate to make it easy to produce, by providing open source drawings, fabrication techniques, off-the-shelf components and assembly instructions; and additionally by providing all documentation and testing to comply with the Medical Device Regulation. The results of this project provide an open source method to produce the 3D stress foot plate in an affordable way while being a safe medical device. In line with the open source starting point, the image processing of the acquired CT scans can also be processed with open source software (3D Slicer). This was demonstrated for a complex case of determining range of motion after ankle prosthesis replacement.

Tijdens mijn stage heb ik analyses uitgevoerd in MATLAB voor een pilotstudie die werd gebruikt om de Nederlandse voetzorg te verbeteren. Deze pilot heeft als doel om schoenadvies op maat gegeven. Daarnaast heb ik literatuuronderzoek gedaan naar inlegzolen, de elementen in inlegzolen en de materialen die voor inlegzolen worden gebruikt. Hieruit bleek dat weinig aspecten van de binnenzool op bewijs zijn gebaseerd.

During my bachelor assignment, I worked for the Biomedical Signals and Systems research group on obtaining patterns in time series motifs with one-dimensional motifs in physiological data (step count, heart rate and blood glucose data) of type 2 diabetes patients. The MATLAB algorithm was created to find the distance profile local minima below a certain threshold. Motifs were obtained based on these local minima, which were then clustered to reveal patterns. Finally, in practical research, the patterns obtained for patients with type 2 diabetes were too superficial and do not say much about health and lifestyle, because they only indicate an increase, decrease, or temporary peak.
