Wearable technology to help stroke survivors
The University of Rhode Island has been awarded a US$500,000, three-year grant from the US National Science Foundation for its project titled “RE-GAIN: An adaptive, medical CPS platform integrating e-textile wearables, virtual/augmented reality and AI for stroke rehabilitation”.
The multinational project focuses on designing medical rehabilitation that uses cyber-physical systems technology particularly targeted to stroke survivors under the age of 65. The focus is on restoring the patient’s motor and cognitive ability for reemployment.
