Abstract:
The current model of neurorehabilitation provides comprehensive care (neurologist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, speech therapist) in the acute phase of acquired brain injuries during hospitalization in some countries. However, follow-up care is insufficient or completely absent, especially for disadvantaged people. Increasing the availability, effectiveness and efficiency of neurorehabilitation care is beneficial both socially and economically. The BrainIn project aims to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of neurorehabilitation procedures in both the acute phase and long-term home rehabilitation phase. Moreover, its goal is to facilitate and accelerate the return of the affected people to their families, social, and working life. The BrainIn project is freely available as a web application (https://brainin.kiv.zcu.cz/). It is adapted to the needs of therapists and patients who have experienced acquired brain injuries.
