The goal
Remote rehabilitation support for patients
Improved communication between doctors and patients
Monitoring and tracking patient’s progress
Enhancing psychomotor recovery and reintegration
Role
UX designer designing.
From conception to delivery
Responsibilities
Design an app to allow patients and doctors to communicate easily remotely, and keep following the rehab at home.
A bit of explanation
Years ago my mom discovered she had a brain tumor and during the operation, she was hit by a stroke (ictus) which then resulted in a hemiparesis. During this period I noticed how slow the communication between doctor and patient is, which heavily influences the psychomotor sphere that is preparing for the return to life. My goal is to create an app that can help the rehabilitation process remotely, monitoring the progress of the patient’s rehabilitation and giving the physiatrist the possibility to follow his activity step by step.
User research: pain points
Rehabilitation alone is
too difficult and complex. Without the
right feedback, you lose motivation
There is no more time or
appointment to respect, patients forget to do the recommended exercises
Most patients need constant emotional, mental and
psychological support
These exercises require a precise pattern and doing them alone or
without assistance is complicated
User research
User Test: Personas
Jenny Pink
Irene is a very busy a person who needs daily therapy. Even knowing that she has to do therapy, she forgets about it and gets caught up in other things.
Tommy Blue
As a family member supporting a loved one’s neuromotor rehabilitation journey, John plays a crucial role in their success. Through interviews and empathy mapping, we gained insights into John’s needs, concerns, and desire to actively contribute to the rehabilitation process.

Through interviews and empathy mapping, we gained insights into Sarah’s needs, motivations, and frustrations. Understanding her journey enables us to design a personalized and effective solution that supports her rehabilitation goals.
I am developing a wearable structure that monitors and supports rehabilitation. It collects real-time physiological data, providing a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s progress. The use of intelligent sensors and actuators assists the patient during specific exercises. Sophisticated algorithms provide personalized feedback, and the connected app enables direct communication with healthcare professionals. This integrated solution enhances the rehabilitation experience, enabling more efficient and effective recovery, even remotely.
Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting development as we continue to work towards creating a transformative tool for remote rehabilitation.
