104of the joints as a subject stands up from a chair or walks. Rather than simply counting, as in a sit-to-stand test, the system provides a thorough, objective and quantitative measurement of afflicted knee joint motion and its link with adjacent ankle and hip joints. It offers a solid foundation for clinicians whose work involves surgical and rehabilitation planning. As the system does not require state-of-the-art equipment and healthcare professionals for measurements and analysis, it is much more affordable. This makes it a viable solution for screening knee osteoarthritis patients in the community.AR-enabled motion tracking for self-managing knee osteoarthritisTo enable individuals to assess their risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, and to enable existing patients self-manage their symptoms, the team has developed a free smartphone app. The app includes a risk assessment that uses AI to analyse a user%u2019s demographics, medical history and lifestyle, and calculates how each factor contributes to the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. App users can also upload sit-to-stand and walking motion videos, which the app uses to analyse the user%u2019s gait. Based on the survey and gait analysis, the app shows the user%u2019s risk of knee osteoarthritis progression and recommends ways to slow the progression. JOINT EFFORT
