    ISEAR – Integriertes System zur Ermutigung für die Armrehabilitation

    Institut für Designforschung (IDE)

    The ISEAR project aims to develop technology incorporating motivational strategies which stimulate movement rehabilitation in everyday context. More specifically, the project demostrates ways in which designers generate concepts for upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients. 

    The ISEAR project aims to develop technology incorporating motivational strategies which stimulate movement rehabilitation in everyday context. More specifically, the project demostrates ways in which designers generate concepts for upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients. We show the added value of design research for medical technology by developing new methods which will be transferred in the design and the evaluation of the system. The ISEAR project builds on the results of the ArmCoach project and the following CTI sponsored feasibility study, and in collaboration with yBand therapy GmbH founded by ZHdK alumni. ISEAR proves the validity of design research within a medical context, and adds advanced features for patients. Finally, the created product will be tested in a clinical study in selected rehabilitation clinics.
