Co-designed with neurological patients, physicians and our multidisciplinary team, REHABILITY's cognitive and physical games are the result of many years European scientific research.

Patients better adhere to the therapy, motivated by the games.

Physicians create tailored therapy plans. Progress is monitored constantly, even remotely.

Rehabilitation

With REHABILITY, patients can carry out their rehabilitation exercises, from either the centre in which they are hospitalized or remotely, autonomously but with constant medical supervision. This version is based on many years scientific research with specific studies in stroke, MS and Parkinson’s disease.

REHABILITY kids is the rehabilitation version specifically designed for use in pediatrics.

Active Ageing

REHABILITY lite is the version specifically dedicated to elderly people to help them realize their potential and promote active ageing, combining physical and mental well-being, social participation and independence in a non-clinical context.

@Home

REHABILITY@Home aims to support a patient centric, continuous care environment operating seamlessly between the clinic and the patient's residence.

(Coming soon) We address all the dimensions of connected care: logistical, medical, IT and social, supported by involvement of the patient, their medical team, family and relatives and other medical systems within the clinic.

REHABILITY enables patients to carry out their personalised rehabilitation exercises from the convenience and safety of their home.

Constant medical supervision is guaranteed thanks to the software that allows personalised parameters to be set and adjusted and the remote collection and analysis of data.
Benefits: continuity of therapy, personalised service, speed of processing and patient quality of life.
Works on mobile, tablet and PC.
With familiar environments to make it interesting and motivating for the patient.

Home Monitoring

REHABILITY is integrated with the home monitoring app Santigo by HIS: it allows the adding of REHABILITY’s cognitive ability monitoring to the available control functionalities of the environmental, home automation and clinician components.

REHABILITY’s games can be played on the same tablet used for monitoring and they represent an additional tool which makes Santigo a unique solution in terms of completeness and modularity.

This system is distributed in the following countries:

ITALY by Finmatica Group with the commercial name Smart*HOC
OTHER EUROPE COUNTRIES by HIS
AUSTRALIA by Tecuris Pty Ltd

We are honoured and excited about the introduction of REHABILITY, a proven gamification platform, to our centre. This is an important first step towards our development of “virtual” Health Oriented Ageing (HOA) to augment our “real” HOA programme.
The introduction of the virtual HOA will help us to engage firstly with older persons recovering at home after their discharge from the hospital; secondly with the more frail old-old whom may have difficulties to attend the real HOA and finally, with volunteers, young-old in the community, to do informed home visitation.

We have been using the REHABILITY serious games for rehabilitation of persons with neurological disorders in our centre for the last couple of years with good results. The persons are motivated to play and the system offers an excellent opportunity to train functional movements in a familiar virtual environment.

The installation of the new games offers new possibilities and we are excited to be able to use them with our patients. We're very happy with the games, and what is more important, so are our patients!

I am really satisfied with REHABILITY, which I have used in the cognitive therapy for patients with senile dementia. I found that the patients were more involved and motivated to continue with the therapy. REHABILITY proved to be a powerful tool in the therapy for patients with wandering disorder. As proved by tests, I witnessed a significant reduction in the level of anxiety and depression.
A patient told me “in my life, I have never had the opportunity to play, and doing it while I am doing rehabilitation has been really fun”.
