Summary:
The main objective of this research project is to expand the current knowledge on biomarkers triggering musculoskeletal frailty, in early stages and in non-specialised out-of-hospital settings. To achieve this objective, this project will employ and adapt the simultaneous use of three innovative technologies: heterogeneous biometric and biomechanical technology, low-field Portable MRI Experimental Technology and the latest trends in Artificial Intelligence applied to health diagnosis.
The development of this project aims to promote the generation of unprecedented knowledge in the analysis and clinical evaluation of the elderly, more specifically the so-called precision medicine, thanks to the definition of new biomarkers defining the ageing process of each person. The combination of organic information on the state of neuromuscular tissues through portable MRI systems, together with functional, biomechanical and biometric information on individuals, will mean a paradigm shift in the diagnosis of the clinical pictures typical of human ageing, as well as making it possible to create new intervention strategies capable of reducing the probability of the appearance of fragility and promoting healthy ageing.
