Abstract

One of the key challenges in home rehabilitation field is the need for more personalized protocols and interfaces. This paper presents how UniTherapy, a telerehabilitation platform developed primarily for computer-assisted motivating rehabilitation (CAMR) applications, is being turned into a home rehabilitation appliance. This includes support for emerging standards, including universal plug and play (UPnP) and the user interface socket (UI Socket) that is enables a universal remote console (URC) to fully operate and automatically generate user interfaces on various available devices. Progress and related issues are discussed
