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.
