Abstract :
The development and inclusion of new technologies and touch screen devices in the medical field has facilitated the treatment and rehabilitation of different types of patient. For this paper, we propose the use of touch screen devices for the rehabilitation of people with brain diseases such as Alzheimer´s or for people who have suffered a stroke. We have created different kinds of activity models for the JClic platform for different users. We will use the models to create exercises that such people can do in an easy, intuitive, and visual form, allowing the user to participate more dynamically in their treatment or recovery, and assisting the work of medical staff.
