abstract = {For a successful rehabilitation after cardiac surgery, it is crucial to have a carefully personalized, structured, and supervised physiotherapy program. Due to erroneous or unsupervised physiotherapy, nearly 50% of surgeries fail. Researchers have tried to leverage advances in wearable sensors and motion tracking to build affordable, automated, and customizable rehabilitation systems that help both therapists and patients during physiotherapy sessions. In this paper, we present a patient-centered cardiac surgery rehabilitation system (CSRS) for the personalization of the patient's physiotherapy for the early post-operative period. The system has been designed to interconnect different acquisition sensors and to be distributed on different stations in order to be able to continuously monitor the patient's vital signs and evaluate her/his cognitive and motor abilities in real time.},

abstract = {Supervised exercise programs are an important aspect of the rehabilitation process of patients after heart surgery. A large number of factors must be taken into account before implementing a rehabilitation program. These mainly consist in the patient's cognitive and physical capabilities after the operation and the expectations of recovery. A rehabilitation program should also be designed in relation to the stage of the healing process, with the therapist selecting the best sequence of exercises while taking into account the most appropriate effort level for the patient. This paper describes a customizable rehabilitation system for the early post-operative period, useful for the performance of an assessment of the patients, through an evaluation of their cognitive and motor abilities, and for a dynamic personalization of the therapy sessions focused on patient needs.},

abstract = {This paper describes the SmartCARE ICT eco-system, which goal is to deliver advanced health collaboration services in the rehabilitation domain. The system provides a set of tools that enable the continuity of care at home to patients affected by stroke diseases. Moreover, by taking advantage of motion sensing-based serious games and virtual companions, the system can stimulate the patient at being more reactive both at neuro-motorial and neuro-cognitive levels.},
