The main aim of the workshop is to connect a diverse group of researchers and experts who are working at the frontier of health-care robotics and AI, and particularly to bring into light the challenges of transitioning from the laboratory into practical clinic applications.

We delve into critical aspects of this journey, encompassing (i) technology trends, (ii) the pivotal role of clinical trials, and (iii) compelling case studies of success. Particularly, the workshop aims to: 

• revise and harmonise groundbreaking technologies in robotics, AI, wearables, and sensors, all of which have the potential to redefine patient care

• underscores the significance of co-creation with end-users, clinical validation and acceptance, recognizing them as cornerstones for adhering to best practices in conducting trials, gathering relevant data, and ensuring safety

• unfold the challenges of building  commercially viable products and the in-depth comprehension of ethics and regulatory requisites

• showcase success stories and case studies highlighting the challenges and effective strategies for different cases

A prominent theme throughout the workshop is interdisciplinary collaboration, connecting together the expertise of engineers, rehabilitation scientists, clinicians, and industry partners. We aim to present a pathway for the community to successfully integrate assistive systems to the society.
