14.12.2023. Human Digital Twins (HDTs) have recently emerged as promising tools for various healthcare applications. However, most applications utilize HDTs as passive data repositories. DTU team explores an alternative conceptualization of HDTs as active, engaging elements in serious games for rehabilitation.
10.10.2023. On 18th – 20th September, the ReHyb team gathered to collect user opinions about the ReHyb low-power (LP) device for final improvements before its evaluation with patients at Schön Klinik Bad Aibling, starting in November 2023. The LP device is a spring-loaded exoskeleton developed by IUVO, combined with FES and EMG modules developed by TECNALIA. It is operated using various control methods developed by the TUM team and fully interfaced with the gaming environment offered by the Radboud University team.
15.09.2023. In this post we will share some general thoughts on what needs to be considered when introducing sustainability into development process. One of the UN sustainable development goals is “Responsible Consumption and Production “(goal #12). For designers and manufacturers, this means trying to meet this goal through smart design using methods and materials that have a low environmental footprint.
13.09.2023. We are thrilled to bring you some important news regarding the REHYB project. The European Union has officially accepted our request for an extension amendment. This is a testament …
04.09.2023. In the rapidly evolving digital age, dealing with advancements in technology especially in the health sector, and personal data privacy is becoming increasingly complicated. As encryption technologies and data protection technologies and decentralized data systems advance, this can give users more control over their information.
02.08.2023. In the ReHyb project, the Human Robotics Group at ICL aims at understanding the underlying mechanism of combined FES and robot assistance and how they affect motor and physiological behaviours in stroke patients.
23.06.2023. Many challenges have to be faced to develop a robotic rehabilitation device and a crucial point in the roadmap toward clinical testing of a new prototype is compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), which is always up to date to provide improvements toward conformity assessment of new prototypes and products.
15.06.2023. Recent technological advancements have led to the development of various innovative solutions for neurorehabilitation, among which the combination of wearable exoskeletons and virtual reality-based exercises has emerged as a promising approach. However, a notable limitation in the field lies in the inadequate integration and coordination of different modules within virtual reality-robotic synergistic rehabilitative systems, primarily due to the absence of effective control architecture.
09.06.2023. Practical operation of devices and equipment plays a crucial role in therapy in the clinical setting. SK welcomed TECNALIA, and TUM, and Valduce (online) for a 1-day hybrid-workshop on the design of the FES electrodes for final adjustments. TECNALIA presented the latest developments on the electrodes that were implemented since the last feedback and try-out sessions.
02.06.2023. The ReHyb project would like to introduce the new project partner Radboud University (RU) joining the consortium. We are thrilled to announce that RU became officially the new partner of ReHyb project on 1st August 2022 and is represented by Donders Institute. RU team joined the project with their great experience in such a field and aim to revolutionize rehabilitation technology
