Intelligent Wearable System for Enhanced Personalized Gait Rehabilitation
The GaitREHub MSCE-SE project is now underway after a successful online kick-off meeting!
GaitREHub aims to develop an Interactive Smart Wearable System with Artificial Intelligence for Personalized Gait Rehabilitation, by developing an interactive tool for rehabilitation at home with real-time tele-monitoring from the clinic. This system will enable gait training for neurologically injured patients and any other patient in need of gait rehabilitation, in their own homes. The project will allow patients to practice walking, have their performance and improvement monitored in real-time by professionals, and reduce the costs associated with traditional clinical treatment. The collected gait training data will be analysed and shared through a feedback tool for the patients and their rehabilitation team, allowing for monitoring and further training prescription without the need to physically attend a clinic.
The GaitREHub consortium consists of internationally recognized institutions and organizations from Belgium, Italy, Greece, Serbia, Chile and Thailand. BioAssist participates in the project and will contribute to the design and implementation of the envisioned system, with a focus on the development of the end-user mobile app and its integration with smart wearable sensors.
As an MSCE-Staff Exchanges action, GaitREHub will facilitate the exchange of knowledge, skills and competencies through staff secondments, promoting international and interdisciplinary collaboration. In that context, selected researchers working at BioAssist will be hosted in the frame of the project by 3 of the academic partners of the consortium: the University of Novi Sad, KU Leuven and Prince of Songkla University.
