Rapid Prototyping of Virtual Reality Cognitive Exercises in a Tele-Rehabilitation Context

In recent years, the need to contain healthcare costs due growing public debt of many countries, combined with reduce costly travel by patients unable move autonomously, have captured attention administrators towards tele-rehabilitation. This trend has been consolidated overwhelmingly following Covid-19 pandemic, which made it precarious, difficult and even dangerous for access hospital facilities. We present an approach based on rapid prototyping virtual reality, cognitive tele-rehabilitation exercises, reinforce group exercises available in Nu!reha platform. Patients who experienced injury or pathology practice continuous training order recover functional abilities, therapist needs monitor outcomes such practices. The new approach, become crucial especially this pandemic period. Virtual Reality are designed Unity 3D empower set up personalized easy way, enabling patient receive stimuli, essential a positive outcome practice. Furthermore, reaction speed system is fundamental importance, as temporal evolution scene must proceed parallel patient’s movements, ensure effective efficient therapeutic response. So, we optimized reality application make loading phase startup fast possible tested results obtained devices: particular computers smartphones different operating systems hardware. implemented method powers Nu!Reha system®, collection services that helps capabilities.
