Rehabilitation Bot
Description
RehaBot aims to develop a smart assistant to assess, complement and boost physical rehabilitation therapies for children with cerebral palsy through the combined use of chatbots, wearables, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality technologies. Although this project is focused on children, the proposed methodologies and tools could also be useful for adults with cerebral palsy or that have suffered a stroke.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of childhood disability in Europe with an incidence between 2-3 per 1000 live births. The most common associated deficits include difficulties in grasping or walking: a smart assistant can increase the independence of these patients and their quality of life in the long term. This project aims to improve physical rehabilitation treatments using a completely new approach for cost-effective, patient-centered telerehabilitation, using state-of-the-art technologies.
This system is part of the PID2021-124515OA-I00 action, financed by MICIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 and FEDER, UE
Objectives
To complement traditional treatments on movement neurorehabilitation for pediatric patients with cerebral palsy, by using a smart assistant, a completely new approach for cost-effective, patient-centered telerehabilitation and assessment in their natural environment.
To use state-of-the-art technologies to answer important research questions about this new approach and other conventional and technology-based treatments, and specifically about their effectiveness in motor learning transfer to patients' daily living activities.
