Systems to improve adherence and therapeutic rehabilitation.

The reintegration of patients into daily life following hospitalization represents a significant socio-health challenge. A considerable number of individuals are unable to fully regain their functional capabilities, even after extended periods of rehabilitation. This is particularly evident in cases such as stroke, where chronic aftereffects often lead to long-term disabilities that severely limit personal autonomy. These limitations not only hinder physical independence but also have a profound impact on emotional well-being, frequently resulting in conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Among the most common and disabling consequences is the loss of motor skills, especially the ability to grasp and manipulate objects with the upper limbs. This impairment directly affects the individual’s ability to perform basic tasks, reducing their quality of life and increasing dependence on caregivers or healthcare systems.

To address these complex needs, the OSADAPT team is developing innovative, adaptive technologies that enhance the intensity, personalization, and effectiveness of upper-limb rehabilitation. These technologies are designed to respond dynamically to the patient's physical and cognitive state, enabling a more tailored and motivating rehabilitation process. The aim is to support functional recovery through continuous monitoring and adjustment of therapy, increasing patient engagement and adherence.

Furthermore, the solutions proposed by OSADAPT are conceived with future integration into clinical healthcare processes in mind, ensuring not only therapeutic effectiveness but also usability and scalability in real-world medical environments. By doing so, OSADAPT contributes to bridging the gap between hospital discharge and full reintegration into everyday life, ultimately improving long-term patient outcomes and reducing the burden on health and social care systems.
