Cognitive Rehabilitation through Therapeutic Video Games and Brain Stimulation<\/p>\n

TRASFORMAZIONE DIGITALE<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The main idea behind the MINDSET project is to stimulate and assess spatial orientation skills in patients with congenital or acquired brain injuries through a training program based on virtual reality (VR) and other forms of interactive engagement within a newly developed, generalized e-health User-Centered Designed platform.<\/p>\n

Thanks to MINDSET, platform users can improve their spatial abilities, stimulate, and rehabilitate cognitive functions impaired by brain insults (such as stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, or trauma).<\/p>\n

The platform will collect and analyze data which, once properly interpreted, will allow therapists, patients, and families to have an updated overview of the patient\u2019s cognitive state and its progression over time.<\/p>\n

Patients can access the services through web and mobile platforms (e.g., tablets), and also via wearable devices and immersive reality systems. When necessary, patients can be equipped with wearable and\/or home-based sensors to monitor biometric parameters. These can be used to provide therapists with a proactive understanding of the patient\u2019s overall health status and to detect potential warning signs that may require pausing or adjusting the rehabilitation exercises.<\/p>\n

The team, supported by medical and psychological experts, has developed a training program with therapeutic VR applications for the exploration of virtual environments (e.g., city routes), interactive 360\u00b0 videos, and exercises divided into neurocognitive domains defined by the DSM-5.
The use of VR allows for a realistic reproduction of spatial exploration experiences, and, combined with the game-like aspects, enhances user engagement.<\/p>\n

The entire protocol and methodology have been scientifically defined, validated, and tested with end users. A first testing phase was conducted with healthy subjects, followed by a second phase involving patients, in order to assess usability.<\/p>\n

Result to be enhanced<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The MINDSET project aims to develop an integrated platform for cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation of spatial orientation skills through exercises and training applications that integrate various technologies and methodologies, including:<\/p>\n
