Using Digital Health Technology To Enable Tele-Rehabilitation Interventions
This lecture will review recent advances in the application of digital health technologies to the field of tele-rehabilitation. We will show how relying on digital health technologies and on machine learning algorithms, researchers have developed approaches suitable to derive accurate estimates of clinical scores via the analysis of data collected during the performance of functional movements. Examples provided during the lecture will include techniques to assess motor impairments and functional limitations from sensor and video data. We will discuss how digital technologies can be used to collect data to generate feedback during the performance of rehabilitation exercises outside of the clinic. Finally, we will discuss how these technologies can transform the way rehabilitation interventions are designed and implemented as they enable tracking individual responses to clinical interventions.
