About
Dr. Sarah Chatfield is a leading researcher in digital health and telerehabilitation, whose work addresses the critical challenge of assessing patient movement during video consultations. Her most-cited study, "Technologies to Support Assessment of Movement During Video Consultations: Exploratory Study" (2021, 15 citations), investigates how clinicians can overcome the limitations of remote care—such as restricted camera views and inability to observe full-body movements—to deliver effective physical rehabilitation. This exploratory work lays the foundation for integrating sensor-based and computer vision technologies into telehealth platforms, aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. Dr. Chatfield’s contributions are particularly timely, as the rapid shift to virtual care during the COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in remote assessment tools. By identifying key barriers and proposing technological solutions, she has influenced both clinical practice and the design of next-generation telemedicine systems. Her research bridges human-computer interaction, physiotherapy, and health informatics, making her a pivotal figure in shaping how movement analysis can be reliably conducted from a distance. Dr. Chatfield’s work continues to inform the development of scalable, equitable telehealth solutions for rehabilitation populations worldwide.
