Ongoing Research

Clinical Graphics has strong interests in academic research. We are closely working together with three universities and two clinics:

• Leiden University Medical Center
• Delft University of Technology
• Imperial College London
• Reinier de Graaf ziekenhuis, Delft
• HAGA ziekenhuis, The Hague

An overview of our research projects will be maintained below.

Fobvis

Fobvis is an open-source system for motion recording and kinematic analysis. It can be downloaded for free. Please see fobvis.googlecode.com for more information.
