Our Work

Many experience injuries or illnesses that are largely preventable. Our lives can be turned upside down because of a slip in icy weather or a trip on an uneven sidewalk. Unpaid caregivers are often thrown into stressful new roles. For others, poor accessibility of their environments can spark a slow downward spiral in health, or lead to a reduction in quality of life.

Our team’s goal is to prevent injury and illness wherever possible and improve the lives of those experiencing illness, injury, and disability, including companions and caregivers.

The Engineering Health team is part of the KITE Research Institute.
