A Research-Based Stroke Rehabilitation Model Inspired by the Work of Dr. Choukou

Relying on a hospital’s Occupational Therapy department once every two months simply isn’t enough — the limited access and generic exercise plans often fall short of what’s truly needed. With iManus, I finally found a solution that offers consistent, personalized therapy that actually fits my needs and supports real progress.

Overview

Active@Home is a digitally enabled stroke rehabilitation program developed in alignment with Dr. Choukou’s research on telerehabilitation, home-based care solutions, and the ethical integration of technology into health systems. This innovative program combines physical and cognitive training using a tablet application or virtual reality system, allowing stroke survivors to engage in therapy from the comfort of their own homes.

Guided by a virtual coach, participants follow a personalized, progressively structured three-month plan featuring real-life exercises that promote the restoration of strength, balance, and cognitive sharpness. The program embodies Dr. Choukou’s commitment to age-friendly, accessible care by reducing barriers to rehabilitation services and supporting patient autonomy through user-friendly, adaptive digital platforms.

Grounded in evidence and community-informed design, Active@Home exemplifies the potential of AI-supported telerehabilitation to transform recovery for underserved and aging populations. It also reflects broader goals of equity and inclusion in digital health by bridging the gap between clinical expertise and home-based rehabilitation needs.
