CogRehab: a digital approach to cognitive personalized rehabilitation
Year: 2020
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This dissertation focuses on the topic of using digital approaches in cognitive rehabilitation. The interest in this subject derives from the assumption that current digital rehabilitation platforms are not customizable according to the individuality and needs of the patient. For this reason, the main goal of this work is contributing to fill this gap by proposing a platform capable of producing personalized cognitive exercises to foster a more effective rehabilitation process. The work methodology can be divided into two fundamental parts: a prior study based on multidisciplinary literature seeking to identify factors influencing cognitive rehabilitation and which types of treatment are most effective, as well as a review of existing digital approaches for preparing digital exercises meant to help cognitive rehabilitation, followed by a practical component related to the proposal and prototyping of a new platform. In this phase a Human-Centered Design approach was used with the collaboration of experts of the Centro de Medicina de Reabilitao da Regio Centro - Rovisco Pais for which the platform was specifically created.
