Block-chain based property registry
Category: User Experience
The use case aims to solve South Africa's titling problem by developing a blockchain solution that allows data to be stored in a decentralised, secure database which can be updated without any loss of historic data. The vision is to integrate this record into the Deeds Registry and unlock access to mortgages and other benefits for beneficiaries of the South African government's Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP).

This co-creation study aimed to develop a smartphone self-test application for balance and leg strength in collaboration between older adults and the research team. The paper describes older participants' preferences for, and their contribution to, the application design. The main results were participants' desire to know why, to get clear and appropriate information, and expectations of the self-test to be useful. It was feasible and valuable to develop the self-test application in co-creation with the intended user-group, in order to get direct feedback and suggestions for the development.

Category: Other
Human posture detection allows the capture of the kinematic parameters of the human body, which is important for many applications, such as assisted living, healthcare, physical exercising and rehabilitation. This task can greatly benefit from recent development in deep learning and computer vision. In this paper, we propose a novel deep recurrent hierarchical network (DRHN) model based on MobileNetV2 that allows for greater flexibility by reducing or eliminating posture detection problems related to a limited visibility human torso in the frame, i.e., the occlusion problem.
