Complex limb injuries are combination injuries that involve all components of a limb's tissue, such as skin, bone with its surrounding soft tissue cover, and neurovascular elements. Complex limb trauma often has a background of a significant mechanism of injuries such as high-velocity road traffic accidents, ballistic injuries, industrial accidents, and other major mechanisms of injuries which involve high amounts of energy transfer through these tissue layers. These injuries pose a major challenge to trauma and orthopaedic surgeons.

Background: Robot-Assisted Gait Rehabilitation (RAGR) is an established clinical practice to encourage neuroplasticity in patients with neuromotor disorders. Nevertheless, tasks repetition imposed by robots may induce boredom, affecting clinical outcomes. Thus, quantitative assessment of engagement towards rehabilitation using physiological data and subjective evaluations is increasingly becoming vital.

Background: Children frequently encounter pain. Their pain like adults' pain is probably modulated by social-affective factors. Despite its clinical relevance, such pain modulation has not been explored experimentally in children, and little is known about specific factors accounting for it such as catastrophizing.

Non-contact heart monitoring is crucial in advancing telemedicine, fitness tracking, and mass screening. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a non-contact technique to obtain information about heart pulse by analyzing the changes in the light intensity reflected or absorbed by the skin during the blood circulation cycle. However, this technique is sensitive to environmental lightning and different skin pigmentation, resulting in unreliable results.

The Empatica EmbracePlus is a recent innovation in medical-grade wristband wearable sensors that enable unobtrusive continuous measurement of pulse rate, electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and various accelerometry-based actigraphy measures using a minimalistic smartwatch design. The advantage of this lightweight wearable is the potential for holistic longitudinal recording and monitoring of physiological processes that index a suite of autonomic functions, as well as to provide ecologically valid insights into human behaviour, health, physical activity, and psychophysiological processes. Given the longitudinal nature of wearable recordings, EmbracePlus data collection is managed by storing raw timeseries in short 'chunks' in avro file format organised by universal standard time.
