'Some wearable devices claim to detect falls, but most are trained on simulated data. Real-world falls are chaotic, messy, and unpredictable. This mismatch results in devices that cry wolf with false alarms or, far more dangerously, stay silent when someone truly needs help. Over the last two years at the Insight Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics, our work has focused on closing this gap between simulation and reality' Dr Timilehin Aderinola of University College Dublin on exciting developments in fall prediction for #olderadults #fallprediction #smartwatches #wearabletech University College Cork Dublin City University University of Galway Tyndall National Institute Maynooth University Trinity College Dublin University of Limerick Research Ireland https://lnkd.in/d5_DchPB

*Streaming in Gaelic games* Incredibly proud to be able to share some important work on ability grouping in youth Gaelic games. Given the complexity involved in this area, and the lack of previous research, this paper will hopefully support clubs and coaches in the appropriate use of streaming, while also acting as a catalyst for further research from the Co-Ex|Lab in DCU and other institutions. Many thanks to co-authors Áine MacNamara Stephen Behan Jamie Taylor Peter Horgan and to Insight Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics for the continued support and guidance. Below is a link to the paper valid for 50 free copies: https://lnkd.in/ezfzHKmt Once these copies have run out, anyone interested can find a copy of the paper here: https://lnkd.in/e5NYgQ-T Lastly, if anyone would like to chat all things streaming feel free to reach out david.moran@dcu.ie.
