The presentations were followed by great discussion and round table demonstrations of wearables to measure mobility and activity in the older population (Dr Pantall&#8217;s lab), AI interventions for frailty in care homes and private homes (OpenLab), tissue engineering approaches to cartilage modelling (Pirog and Sorial groups), mouse models of cartilage ageing and disease (Pirog lab) and spatial transcriptomics to investigate cartilage degeneration (Young lab).
