Introduction
Thomas is currently pursuing a Doctoral degree at Flinders University, investigating the intersection between rehabilitation, music, and virtual reality. He has also been expanding his machine learning and software engineering skills as a Data Scientist at Aurizn, following a 5-month internship in Singapore.
Thomas hopes to apply his engineering, game development, and programmatic knowledge to progress the biomedical field through advancements in rehabilitation and assistive technology.

The incentive spirometer is a device prescribed to patients following abdominal or thoracic surgery, to facilitate deep breathing and reduce or prevent postoperative complications [1]. Disengagement with the incentive spirometer has been reported to contribute to lowered patient compliance, hence expected respiratory benefits have not been realised...

Wearables collect and aggregate movement and health information of significance to consumers and researchers alike. This review compares a selection of common activity monitors to assist in selecting the most appropriate device based on the task, objective, and research question.
By 2025 it is projected that 70% of clinical trials will include wea...
Mirror Therapy (MT) is an established rehabilitation technique for motor recovery, particularly for upper limb stroke rehabilitation. This research introduces a novel approach to conventional MT by combining it with music-based therapy and using immersive technologies to deliver a Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy (VRMT) intervention.
