Com@Rehab project is a collaborative research project that brings together several competences, such as linguistics, communication and health literacy, motor rehabilitation, virtual reality and game development, to facilitate health communication using technology.
In the current pandemic context, this collaborative research project focuses on the rehabilitation of post-Covid19 patients in the hospital context or at home.
In recent months we have developed the verbal and non-verbal communication part of the interaction between therapist and patient to create a Virtual Reality (VR) game with different levels of difficulty, analysing the range of movements and associating them with linguistic descriptions, to lead to the correct execution of the exercises.
We have entered the phase of recording voice instructions and will soon move on to the usability testing phase.
At NOVA Science Day ceremony, on the 22nd September, the project was awarded by Santander/NOVA 2019-2020!
