9th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments (PETRA 2016)
The PETRA conference is a highly interdisciplinary conference that focuses on computational and engineering approaches to improve the quality of life and enhance human performance in a wide range of settings, in the workplace, at home, in public spaces, urban environments, and other.
The objective of this research is to develop methods and tools for a multimodal and multi-sensor assessment and rehabilitation system called CPLAY to help children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). CPLAY collects and processes multiple types of stimulation and performance data while a child is playing in different types of therapy games simulating traditional therapy sessions.
We describe the process towards the design of a safe, reliable, and intuitive emergency treatment unit to facilitate a higher degree of safety and situational awareness for medical staff, leading to an increased level of patient care during an epidemic outbreak in an unprepared, underdeveloped, or disaster stricken area.
