Who could benefit from this research

Could help

Individuals with disabilities spanning children (0-11) to adults (21+), who require rehabilitation and could benefit from personalized assessment and decision support.

Less likely to help

Patients without access to wearable devices or who do not engage with digital health tools may experience limited benefit.

What this research studies

This grant supports a Resource Core that develops and standardizes clinical assessments for recovery, while using AI to help collect and analyze motor data from wearable devices. It will also build a clinician-facing portal to display integrated, actionable results for decision making. The work focuses on discovering stakeholder needs, gathering multimodal data, and creating generalizable tools to support precision rehabilitation across ages and disability types. The project emphasizes collaboration across diverse rehabilitation populations to improve how recovery is measured and managed in real-world care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could receive more tailored rehabilitation plans informed by integrated data and AI insights.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work shows promise for AI-assisted rehabilitation tools, but this center aims to generalize across ages and disabilities with an integrated data platform.
