Overview
The study team proposes ATLAS (AI-Assisted TelerehabiLitAtion System) a two-part solution. The first-Rebee AI-assisted telerehabilitation device-assists in inpatient rehabilitation, and allows patients to continue with their physical rehabilitation when discharged and waiting for Day Rehabilitation Centre (DRC). The second-a structured programme to train and familiarise patients and caregivers to Rebee over patients' Community Hospital (CH) inpatient rehabilitation stay-adopts an evidence-based approach to increase uptake and adherence to Rebee.
Interventions
- Device Rebee
Tablet device with accompanying sensor device. Tablet device is preloaded with exercises, to be taught to patients during their hospital stay, and to be continued post-discharge
Primary outcome measures
- Change in Modified Barthel Index scores from baseline to 4, 8, and 12 weeks [Time frame: from recruitment (week 0) till end of study at 12 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Change in Quality of Life scores from baseline to 4, 8, and 12 weeks [Time frame: from recruitment (week 0) till end of study at 12 weeks]
