Technology-Aided Rehabilitation: Lessons Learned and Future Directions

Advancements in technology have transformed rehabilitation, offering innovative solutions to enhance patient recovery, improve accessibility, and optimise therapeutic outcomes. From wearable sensors and robotics to virtual reality and AI-driven interventions, technology-aided rehabilitation has evolved significantly, providing personalised and data-driven approaches to treatment.

However, challenges such as accessibility, user adaptability, and ethical considerations remain.

This lecture will explore key lessons from past implementations, examine future directions for integrating cutting-edge technologies into rehabilitation, reflect on the rationale for their effectiveness, and present the promises of using Artificial Intelligence to ensure more effective, inclusive, and patient-centred care.
