Design of a complementary 24/7 rehabilitation and monitoring system with wearables and telerehabilitation
Abstract
Intensive rehabilitation programs in patients with neurological disorders produce significant improvements in their prognosis, given that functional outcomes depend largely on the dose of therapy received. In this context, telerehabilitation and telemonitoring emerge as strategies that allow for extended treatment time through personalized programs and real- time patient monitoring. This approach not only promotes therapeutic adherence but can also enhance the functional outcomes of the neurorehabilitation process. The present pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility of integrating telerehabilitation and telemonitoring therapies as a complement to conventional in-person rehabilitation in patients with neurological conditions. It is proposed as an experimental study with conventional intervention, designed to assess the effectiveness of a combined program of rehabilitation assisted by digital technologies and monitoring using wearable devices. The protocol envisages a total duration of 6 weeks of active intervention. It is expected that the implementation of this integrated model of telerehabilitation and telemonitoring will be feasible, safe, and well accepted by both patients and the clinical team, thus contributing to the optimization of neurorehabilitation processes.
