As populations age and chronic neurological conditions become increasingly common, rehabilitation services are called to provide care pathways that are more personalised, continuous, and sustainable. In Lombardy, chronic illness as well as frailty place significant pressure on rehabilitation services. In this context, advanced technologies such as rehabilitation robotics, wearable sensors, e-textiles, tele-rehabilitation, and artificial intelligence (AI) can offer new opportunities to monitor patients’ functional status, adapt treatment to patients’ needs, and support clinicians in decision-making.
The Rehabilitation Dynamic Robotic Intelligent Wearable Platform project (REDRIWE) (ID 6069838) aims to develop an integrated platform for person-tailored rehabilitation to support rehabilitation pathways that can be adapted to patients’ clinical characteristics, functional needs, and rehabilitation goals. A central component of REDRIWE is the development of AI-supported Dynamic Treatment Regimes, designed to help adjust rehabilitation plans over time according to the patient’s response throughout the care pathway. This approach aims to support continuity from inpatient rehabilitation to outpatient and home-based settings, contributing to a more decentralized, data-informed, and patient-centred model of care.
Within REDRIWE, PsyLab contributes its expertise in psychological assessment, statistical modelling, and the multidimensional evaluation of patient experience. More specifically, PsyLab is involved in the development of an AI-based multidimensional psychological assessment module which will support the collection and analysis of psychosocial, behavioural, clinical, and contextual data from patients and caregivers to integrate individual and contextual dimensions into personalised rehabilitation pathways.
