Workshop

Telerehabilitation: proposed platforms, and the roadmap of technology enabled solutions to the market

June 18th, @ 14:00-19:00 CET
Telerehabilitation: proposed platforms, and the roadmap of technology enabled solution to the market

The workshop will address the design, development and use of the IT – based solutions for telerehabilitation in various diseases.  The workshop will address major issues which are driven by the experience gained during the HOLOBALANCE project implementation.  HOLOBALANCE focuses on balance telerehabilitation.

In fact, there is growing interest in telerehabilitation of balance and movement disorders. Several systems have been developed and some of them are in commercial use.  Those systems combine different elements from IoT, VR/AR, to artificial intelligence, holograms, etc.  All those systems can be provided to the patients, but face some problems in their use, which come from regulatory obstacles, safety issues, liability, etc.  The workshop will include presentations in all the above topics and will finally conclude with a white paper targeting the adoption of such rehabilitation/coaching systems by the healthcare systems and use by the patients.
