Creating intelligent rehabilitation technology: An interdisciplinary effort

Abstract

Intelligent rehabilitation technologies (IRTs) are devices that use artificial intelligence to support well-being. The successful development of IRTs intended to support neurorehabilitation requires close collaboration between experts from many disciplines, including engineers, rehabilitation specialists, computer scientists, formal and informal caregivers, and care recipients. Working as an interdisciplinary team can be challenging because of a diversity of backgrounds, goals, outcomes, and even professional language. This workshop presents different techniques that have been used in the interdisciplinary development of IRTs. These concepts will be explored by workshop participants through three real-world examples.
