ROOMMATE motivation and proposition
Neurological disorders cause 11.6% of global DALYs, with stroke as the second leading cause in 2019. In 2017, the EU reported 1.12 million strokes, 9.53 million survivors, and 7.06 million DALYs lost, with stroke prevalence projected to rise by 27% by 2047. Despite WHO’s "Rehabilitation 2030" initiative, gaps remain in health service access, care coordination, and health literacy. Patients and caregivers face unmet needs in recovery, emotional support, and education.

ROOMMATE aims to create a sustainable rehabilitation ecosystem to transform stroke care. It will integrate technologies like bedside monitors, wearable sensors, robotic devices, VR tools, and a soft robotic exoskeleton, supported by a multimedia platform. Using a human-centered approach, ROOMMATE will involve users and improve digital literacy. Pilot studies and a cohort multiple Randomised Controlled Trial will assess usability and effectiveness. Aligning with THCS goals, ROOMMATE seeks to innovate care pathways and ease healthcare system pressures.

The project uses an interdisciplinary, human-centred approach combining clinical and technological expertise, starting with user needs assessment through focus groups and interviews. It develops and integrates multiple rehabilitation technologies (e.g., sensors, robots, VR, multimedia platform) co-designed with users and validated through pilot studies and living labs. Finally, feasibility, usability, and effectiveness are evaluated using pilot studies and a cohort multiple randomized controlled trial, supported by systematic data collection and statistical analysis.
