Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study was structured in two phases:
* A pilot in protected environment;
* A trial with the system used at the patient's home. The inclusion/exclusion criteria for the two steps were the same and the tools used to evaluate the result were the same too.
The two phases had different specific objectives and to avoid any bias due to previous experience the participants recruited in the two phases were different.
The RecoveryFun system comprehended Three tools: a Virtual reality headset for rehabilitation purposes, a set of Exergames and an app installed on caregiver's smartphone to motivate and support the end user in the therapy. The clinical personnel had access to the Clinical platform provided as a secured web app. The system administrator could differentiate access rights to each clinical user group (e.g: doctors, physiotherapists, nurses). An Innovative biosensing wireless sensor (wristband) was integrated in the connected ecosystem to measure physiological parameters (Heart Rate and Electrodermal Activity) of end users during the rehabilitation session. The patient performed the rehabilitation session according to the rehabilitation plan defined by the clinician. To have coherent results the rehabilitation plan included at least two weekly rehabilitation sessions lasting between 10 and 30 minutes, with the support of the caregiver, if necessary. Each session was planned and scheduled by the therapist remotely via the dedicated clinical platform.
After 4 weeks the assessment of usability and acceptability of the RecoveryFun system were performed by validated tools.
