TREND (Trauma Related Neuronal Dysfunction)

TREND is a consortium of Dutch medical and technical universities, and industrial companies, in which research on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) is integrated.

Noldus Information Technology, as a provider of professional software and instrumentation for the study of behavior, contributes to the research program Assessment technology. This program is aimed at developing assessment instruments for measuring specific aspects of CRPS in both CRPS and healthy patients. Within the research program Assessment technology, Noldus Information Technology provides software and instrumentation to the project teams Bradykinesia and Pulse Transit Time. Within the TREND project, multimodal data integration of The Observer XT (which is the core of the Pulse Transit Time system) was further developed. In the Pulse Transit Time system, The Observer XT integrates behavioral data (coded events) and physiological data (electrocardiogram, blood pressure and pulse plethysmogram).
