Rehabilitation Technology Lab

Active@Home is a stroke rehabilitation program that combines physical and cognitive training using a tablet app or virtual reality. Guided by a virtual coach, participants follow a progressive 3-month plan with real-life exercises designed to restore strength, balance, and mental sharpness — all from home.

We develop innovative telerehabilitation tools—like VR programs, tablet apps, and wearable devices—to support stroke recovery and dementia care in remote and underserved communities.

​We develop home-based technologies like virtual reality to support health and monitor cognitive function. Our VR version of the Ambient Assisted Living Suite lets users perform daily tasks in a simulated environment, helping detect cognitive changes such as memory loss and impaired judgment.

We're developing a mobile app to help family caregivers build the communication skills needed to support loved ones with dementia. Designed by caregivers for caregivers, the app aims to reduce stress and improve quality of life. Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

We’re developing a telepresence robot program to enhance communication between people with mild dementia and their caregivers. This innovative approach helps maintain connections, supports remote monitoring, and promotes community engagement—proving especially valuable during the pandemic.

We develop digital, inclusive care models—like AI-powered telerehabilitation—for Indigenous and underserved communities. It bridges the digital divide, supports aging-in-place, and promotes equitable, patient-centered innovation in health and social care delivery.

iManus is a home-based hand telerehabilitation system developed over 3 years of R&D. Designed for stroke survivors in remote and underserved areas, it includes sensorized gloves, therapeutic tools, and a mobile app that connects patients with therapists. The platform delivers validated therapy content and gained critical importance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We create sensor-based and VR technologies for in-home rehab and healthy aging.

A low-cost system that uses posture and body language recognition to monitor people with dementia. It sends privacy-safe alerts to caregivers when high-risk behaviors—like agitation or conflicts—are detected, helping keep residents safe and supported.
