Brontes Processing has received EU funding to develop innovative rehabilitation technology powered by artificial intelligence.
The R&D work planned in this project will enable the development of a VRDataMining (VRDM) prototype device for delivering e-rehabilitation services to people affected by dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Based on the developed product, Brontes Processing will implement an innovative e-rehabilitation service into its permanent product offering, applicable in medical facilities and home therapy.
The VRDM operating principle combines VR — a proprietary e-rehabilitation programme for dementia — with DM — Data Mining analysis coupled with self-learning algorithms. The prototype will assess the probability of disease onset through a non-invasive examination in the form of an interactive therapeutic session using biofeedback methods in virtual reality, provide an objective comparative assessment against a reference group of individuals matched by sex, age and comorbidities based on data collected by the system, and enable the evaluation and implementation of comprehensive preventive treatment and rehabilitation within a single environment (including home therapy).
The VRDM prototype will independently analyse patient progress and provide automated recommendations to the physiotherapist, indicating the most beneficial personalised treatment pathway.
Project co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the Smart Growth Operational Programme 2014–2022. Implemented under the National Centre for Research and Development competition: Fast Track (competition 1/1.1.1/2021).
