AGE IT - PNRR MUR - Missione 4, Componente 2, Investimento 1.3, Progetto PE_0000015. Spoke 9 - Lo Spoke 9 si occupa dello studio, progettazione, sviluppo, test e convalida della fattibilità scientifica e tecnologica e dell’accettabilità di tecnologie avanzate per l’invecchiamento attivo e in salute, concentrandosi su soluzioni innovative concepite per ambienti di vita ampiamente variabili, ad esempio casa, spazi pubblici e luoghi di lavoro. Ha l’obiettivo di rispondere alla necessità di sviluppi tecnologici innovativi e rivoluzionari per favorire paradigmi di salute e assistenza innovativi, aumentare la qualità della vita negli ambienti di vita e promuovere la prevenzione basata su stili di vita sani e sull’autonomia degli anziani. Lo Spoke si concentra su tecnologie ancora ai livelli più bassi di TRL (Technology Readiness Level). (01/11/2023 - 31/01/2026)20231101

REBALANCE - REinforcing BALANCE with a neurally-driven wearable assistive device PROGETTI DI RICERCA DI RILEVANTE INTERESSE NAZIONALE – Bando 2022 Prot. 2022YPK5YB - The project aims to reduce falls and related healthcare and social costs in the elderly. To tackle this pressing problem, two top-end Italian universities will collaborate developing an innovative, low-cost, neurally-driven, wearable assistive device (WAD) to prevent loss of balance (LoB), a prodromal sign of an incipient fall, in ecological environments. In this project, the WAD will be deployed as a rehabilitative tool in conjunction with an active balance board, to reinforce balance control based on individual cerebral, muscular, and kinematic responses.

PROGAIT Co-Funded by European Commission Horizon 2020 Programme H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017 Grant n.778043 - Developments in robotics allow people with profound neuromuscular deficits after stroke to walk with assistance (during the gait cycle) using an exoskeleton robot. Integrating a robotic device with individualised user electroencephalography (EEG /electrical activity in the motor areas in the brain) and EMG (muscle)feedback would allow more physiological and targeted gait parameters in response to effort, and confer neuroplastic training effects including neuromodulation of temporal and spatial features of gait. Future integration of EEG/EMGsignals with robotic devices will allow patient initiated movement through thought and/or attempted effort, where currently parameters for devices are therapist set and usage is not functionally driven by the patient. Advancement in this regard is stalled primarily because of difficulty in 3D modelling of gait by EEG. This collaborative consortium through secondments and return and built in knowledge sharing strategies will exchange knowledge and expertise across: Design, development and production of exoskeleton gait devices; neuro-rehabilitation; bioelectric EEG/EMG signal capture and interpretation; mathematical modelling and brain computer interface (BCI) platform development can advance the state of the art in gait rehabilitation after stroke rehabilitation. The proposal will allow development of 3D modelling of gait, for gait restoration and explore integration with robotics from multi-stakeholder perspectives (10/10/2018 - 09/10/2023)20181010
