Short description
Award winning REHABILITY is the suite of serious games co-designed with specialists and patients post stroke, with Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson disease. A best practice connected health solution, REHABILITY allows patients to take part in rehabilitation therapy both within a specialist facility and autonomously from home with asynchronous, remote medical support. It combines physical with cognitive exercise, and medical staff can quickly personalise the exercises for each single patient in each phase of the therapy in a very fine grained, yet simple way. A rich analytics dashboard offers data about the rehab period as well as details about single sessions.
The product has proven research to show that it motivates elderly people to comply with the prescribed therapy, thus supporting adherence: the research results have been published in several scientific papers. The product is culturally neutral and multi-lingual, being able to address people from very many different countries from Europe to SE Asia.
