We present work in progress on a tele-immersion system for telerehabilitation using real-time stereo vision and virtual environments. Stereo reconstruction is used to capture user’s 3D avatar in real time and project it into a shared virtual environment, enabling a patient and therapist to interact remotely.

We conducted a systematic review of telerehabilitation interventions in stroke care. The following databases were searched: Medline, Embase, DARE-NHSEED-HTA (INAHTA) and the Cochrane Library. Nine studies, all published after 2000, were included in the review. A wide variety of telemedicine interventions in post-stroke rehabilitation care was identified. Four studies had been carried out in the USA, two in the Netherlands, two in Italy and one in China. There were four randomized controlled trials and one qualitative analysis. Four studies used an observational study design/case series.

The versatile and integrated system for telerehabilitation (VISYTER) is a software platform for developing various telerehabilitation applications. VISYTER has been designed to take into account the environments and requirements of rehabilitation services. The requirements considered in the platform design include minimal equipment beyond what is available in many rehabilitation settings, minimal maintenance, and ease of setup and operation. In addition, the platform has been designed to be able to adjust to different bandwidths, ranging from the very fast new generation of Internet to residential broadband connections. VISYTER is a secure integrated system that combines high-quality videoconferencing with access to electronic health records and other key tools in telerehabilitation such as stimuli presentation, remote multiple camera control, remote control of the display screen, and an eye contact teleprompter.

This paper discusses how a tele-rehabilitation program using home tele-monitoring may empower patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The paper is based on preliminary findings from an ongoing research and innovation project, called “Tele-homecare, chronic patients and the integrated healthcare system” (the TELEKAT project) that employs triple interventions related to patients, professionals, and the organization of care.

“The eHealth Initiative’s (eHI) June 14th event on Capitol Hill was held at the start of Health IT week. eHi is actively working to ensure patient engagement and patient access to information as an integral part of the health IT movement. A demonstration at the event showed how technology helps stroke survivors and enables health professionals provide good care at a distance.

“Durante el evento de Salud 2.0 hice referencia a la mentalidad hacker aplicada a la Medicina. Los ingenieros de la Universidad Rutgers han tomado este concepto de forma literal y han hackeado una Play Station 3. El objetivo, ayudar a jóvenes que sufren parálisis cerebral a mejorar sus funciones motoras manuales.
