News & Events

Meetups, talks, competitions, workshops, and milestones from the İSTÜN Computer Engineering Community and IEEE İSTÜN.

This section brings together community news, event announcements, student branch activities, orientation programs, technical meetings, and moments that show how our students learn, build, and connect beyond the classroom.

Community Overview

İSTÜN Computer Engineering Community

We are the students, graduates, and members of the Computer Engineering Department, Istanbul Health and Technology University. The idea for this community was first envisioned by Dr. Nazlı Tokatlı, the founding head of our Computer Engineering Department, who inspired us to create a space for showcasing projects, sharing knowledge, and building connections. Established in 2021, our community has since grown steadily expanding both our project portfolio and our membership while staying true to that founding vision.

OmniGait

OmniGait

Project Overview

OmniGait is an integrated digital health platform for clinician-supported monitoring and AI-assisted rehabilitation of neuromuscular and biomechanical movement disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, spasticity, Pes Valgus, Scissoring Gait, and Toe Walking. The ecosystem combines wearable exoskeleton hardware, a clinician web panel, and a patient mobile application to process multimodal biomechanical and physiological data such as joint kinematics, muscle activity, plantar pressure distribution, inter-leg distance, and cardiovascular capacity. The prototype device, mobile application, and web panel are currently ready.
