Wearables, apps and remote coaching for rehabilitation.
We build and evaluate low-cost digital tools that let physiotherapy and rehabilitation continue at home, with clinicians still in the loop.

In plain language
Step counts from ordinary smartphones tracked closely with a standard clinic walking test. This means rehabilitation progress could be checked at home without extra equipment.
A regional television bulletin featured the Digital Rehabilitation Lab's work on using ordinary smartphones to track recovery.
