ABOUT THE SEMINAR
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
It is well acknowledged that the success of rehabilitative therapy is related to the amount of exercise or practice the patient carries out. Rehabilitation therefore typically relies on the patient completing significant amounts of self-directed exercises in-between therapy sessions. However, low engagement and low adherence with those treatments are a known issue. Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR) is a growing research area at the intersection of robotics, health science, psychology, social and cognitive science. Individuals in rehabilitation therapy could benefit of socially assistive technology. SAR can offer cost-effective methods for aiding recovery by maximizing the patient motivation both during and after structured rehabilitation.
Around 17.5 million people die each year from Cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This number represents approximately 31% of all deaths worldwide. People that are not sufficiently active are facing obesity and overweight, which are associated with chronic diseases like type II diabetes, and have a lower health-related quality of live. Moreover, exercise training is strongly recommended for prevention and treatment of pathologies with high prevalence such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Hence, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is commonly used to prevent CVDs or to treat a patient post a CVD event to enhance the quality of life of the patients. The CR treatment can be considered as a tool to enhance the quality of life of patients who have suffered a CVD and as a prevention tool. CR is related to physical activities or exercises for improving physical and mental levels aiming to recover an optimal daily living.
This seminar will offer a forum for researchers from a variety of backgrounds (i.e. physiotherapist, psychologist, philosophist, computer scientist, patients, medical staff, clinical researchers, industry) to discuss the potentials and limitations of using social robots in rehabilitation scenarios. Looking across disciplinary boundaries we hope to establish a common understanding of the needs of potential target groups. We invite participants to share their experiences on the requirements and challenges implementing and deploying robot coaches in rehabilitation scenarios that could motivate people to adhere.
This seminar is organized within the project “Evaluation of the impact of the intervention of a social robot on the cardiovascular responses of patients in the Cardiac Rehabilitation program of the Fundación Cardioinfantil-Instituto de Cardiología” SORCAR funded by Colciencias grant 813-2017.
