Danica
Hendry is a physiotherapist and Research Fellow based at Curtin University. She
explores how young children engage with digital technologies and the
impacts this may have on their physical health, particularly their movement and
posture. Her Ph.D. project employed the use of machine learning models applied
to wearable sensor data to allow for the recognition of specific movement
tasks, allowing for the collection of movement quantity and quality in
field-based studies. She presented the findings of this research as part of an
invited symposium at the International Society of Biomechanics and the American
Society of Biomechanics conference in 2018. She hopes that, as technology
continues to evolve and develop, children continue to be provided the
opportunity to harness the potential benefits of the technological world. Her
research interests include machine learning, inertial sensors, ballet, and
ground reaction force.
