Virtual reality and serious games offer the valuable opportunity to taylor the therapy to patients’ need, and at the same time to continuously monitor and analyze patients’ metrics in order to effectively adapt the therapy to their needs.

Under such premises, this project will aim at:

● Developing new rehabilitation methods and tools, including a fully-immersive Virtual Reality (VR) system with haptic feedback, in the form of adaptable Serious Games, to perform and monitor a personalized and engaging rehabilitation treatment.

● The application of cutting-edge data analytics and data monitoring systems that integrate and correlate both physiological and instrumental data, and that provide a statistical map of the interconnection of the various processes underlying the background of a subject;

● Improving the effect of the intervention through continuous monitoring of patients’ metrics by means of innovative sensors and data analysis techniques, with the aim of tailoring the ongoing therapy to patients’ needs and abilities.
