Feasibility of RehabCoach on Adherence to Unsupervised Robot-Assisted Therapy – Implementation and Evaluation of Smart Reminders

Adherence to rehabilitation therapy is essential for the recovery of hand functionality in stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. However, maintaining engagement outside clinical settings remains a challenge. This project involves a feasibility study to evaluate the adherence of patients using the RehabCoach app as part of a one-week unsupervised robot-assisted program simulation. The study assesses user engagement, app interaction patterns, and the effectiveness of push notifications/smart reminders in sustaining adherence to the training program. The key components of this research are the development of a smart algorithm for triggering push notifications based on specific user behaviors, such as therapy completion or inactivity, to optimize adherence, as well as conducting the study with a few participants.
