Prof. Nicole WENDEROTH
FHT Programme Director, Principal Investigator of Connected Rehabilitation Technology and Assistive Devices
Dr Nicole Wenderoth is professor for Neural Control of Movement in the department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich – the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. She also serves as director of the Institute for Human Movement Sciences and Sport at ETH Zurich.
In Singapore, Prof. Wenderoth leads the Future Health Technology (FHT) programme at the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) as its founding director. The FHT is developing a mobile health technology concept with the aim of transforming the healthcare system towards a community-based and patient-centric model. To achieve this, the FHT will work closely with NUS, NTU, and DukeNUS, as well as Singapore-based clinical partners and government agencies.
Prof. Wenderoth actively pursues translation with the aim to deliver evidence-based concepts and technology for improving rehabilitation training in special populations, such as children with developmental disorders or adult stroke sufferers. Her lab in ETH Zurich works on systems neuroscience with an emphasis on neuromotor control, by developing non-invasive interfaces for measuring and modulating neural processes in the healthy and disordered human brain. In FHT, Prof. Wenderoth is one of the principal investigators developing new Connected Rehabilitation Technology and Assistive Devices.
