SENSACCES

The main objective of the project is to develop and validate smart inertial sensors through various proofs of concept in a laboratory environment. These sensors will be designed to improve accessibility and accuracy in the remote rehabilitation of people with severe visual impairment and/or blindness, the elderly and other vulnerable populations.

Specifically, a Proof of Concept (PoC) will be designed and implemented to evaluate the performance of the sensors in three common scenarios:
✓ Determine whether patients perform the exercises prescribed as part of the treatment by the healthcare professional, whether it is a static or dynamic exercise.
✓ Analyse the quality of execution of rehabilitation exercises performed by patients, focusing on detailed assessment of stability, movement pattern and accuracy of execution.
✓ To remotely evaluate the evolution of patients, allowing patients to know their progress and physiotherapists to monitor the evolution and provide feedback.

On the other hand, the project aims to innovate in the area of telerehabilitation by developing intelligent inertial sensors that are capable of capturing all the information available on the movements of patients, a technology that is not widely available at present. The integration of these sensors with artificial intelligence algorithms and their ability to provide objective data from a distance represents a significant advance in telerehabilitation technology.

In addition, there is a clear objective to improve the accessibility of these technologies, which remains an unresolved issue, particularly for certain groups such as the severely visually impaired and blind.

This innovation will improve the accuracy and reliability of remote assessment of rehabilitation exercises, differentiating it from existing solutions on the market and providing more inclusive technological solutions.
