Scalable (low-cost) approaches for remote and personalised rehabilitation

As the ageing population increases, the need to overcome the challenges of reduced or poor mobility among older adults is profound. That is because walking is a fundamental activity of daily living (ADL) and is often impeded in older adults due to a myriad of age-related conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease (PD), and frailty. Accordingly, those conditions impact the quality of life by causing a high risk of falls and reduced independence. Moreover, psychological health may be compromised which can lead to depression and fear (of falling), creating a snowballing effect for even poorer mobility.
