The Assistive Technologies Innovation Centre and Cerebra Partnership project
The Assistive Technologies Innovation Centre at University of Wales Trinity St David is working with Cerebra to develop a process for scanning the heads of children with brain conditions that have affected the growth and development of their skulls.
Imogen has cerebral palsy and loves horse-riding, but the shape of her skull makes it difficult to find a riding helmet that fits properly. Through this partnership, ATiC and Cerebra were able to use hi-tech scanning equipment to make a bespoke helmet that fits perfectly.
