Telerehabilitation of cognitive, motor and sleep disorders in neurological pathologies: the REHOME project

Telemedicine and e-health services are considered fundamental pillars to ensure the sustainability of the health system in the next future. In fact, the aging of the population, and the consequent growing percentage of people suffering from neurological pathologies and related disabilities, require more and more resources from healthcare facilities in terms of monitoring and rehabilitation services. Solutions based on Information and Communication Technologies can support new patient care and disease management strategies, by deploying telemedicine applications and services. In this context, the paper presents the integrated platform implemented in the REHOME project, for the remote monitoring and rehabilitation of cognitive, motor, and sleep disorders caused by neurological diseases. The solution integrates sensors and innovative methodologies to face patients' and clinical needs by ensuring the continuity of care and rehabilitation services from health facilities to domestic scenarios.

Automated summary

Telemedicine and e-health services play a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of the health system, particularly in monitoring and rehabilitating elderly population and patients with neurological diseases. Solutions based on Information and Communication Technologies can support new patient care and disease management strategies.
