Increase patient motivation. It has been shown that patient motivation will affect their degree of participation during rehabilitation sessions. In this way, a motivated patient will participate in a much more active way and, therefore, will obtain better outcomes from the rehabilitation process. Rehametrics incorporates different game techniques (gamification) that aim to increase patient motivation. Among these we have:

• Multiple virtual environments, designed to be fun and motivating for patients.
• Biofeedback during the execution of the exercises, immediate feedback (visual, sound and kinesthetic).
• Gradual increase of difficulty for all tasks.
• Point-based patient ranking and exercise achievements, to increase adherence to treatment.

Moreover, the Rehametrics virtual rehabilitation platform is constantly evaluating patient performance and adjusting task difficulty automatically. This is done to find the optimal difficulty for each of the prescribed exercises: a difficulty that is not too high to be frustrating for patients or too low to stop motivating them. However, rehabilitation professionals can modify this difficulty whenever they want, even during the execution of the exercises without having to interrupt them.

With all these strategies, greater motivation and a higher patient engagement during the rehabilitation process is achieved.

Adapt exercises to patient needs. According to scientific evidence, motivating, meaningful and task-oriented activities have the greatest therapeutic potential. In this sense, our software proposes a wide variety of exercises that can adapt to the tastes and needs of patients. Many functional activities and also others that are more analytical, but always with a defined therapeutic objective.

The software makes it easier to adapt exercise duration, difficulty and other parameters to the needs of each patient, adjusting session difficulty accordingly. All this can be done even during the session, without having to interrupt it, giving clinicians more flexibility.

On the other hand, healthcare professionals has full control over the total duration of daily sessions and the weekly frequency in which patients will have to complete rehabilitation sessions with Rehametrics.

Provide correct information to patients at the right time. Instructions and feedback received by patients during prescribed exercises are also very important to achieve the best possible results during the recovery process.

In all Rehametrics rehabilitation exercises, whether physical, cognitive or occupational, the software will present short, easy-to-understand instructions to patients, telling them what they are expected to do to successfully complete each of the prescribed exercises. These instructions will be written on the screen, giving patients enough time to read them. At the same time, Rehametrics will read these instructions out loud, so that patients can receive the instructions both ways. During the execution of all exercises, our software will give precise and personalized feedback to patients according to their performance during the exercise. This feedback will be written on screen, but will also be read out loud by our software.

In summary, Rehametrics makes a more intense and motivating rehabilitation possible; it also provides biofeedback and adapts to the interests, needs and clinical goals of each patient. Thus, the application of scientific evidence in the development of the physical, cognitive, occupational and language therapy exercises available in Rehametrics, as well as various personalization options, give rehabilitation professionals greater control over the prescribed session and facilitate obtaining better rehabilitation outcomes.

Furthermore, numerous clinical studies show the benefits of the Rehametrics rehabilitation software platform in the rehabilitation of patients in both clinical and home settings. These studies show that the application of quantification and gamification techniques and the implementation of key recovery factors as mentioned by scientific evidence, improve the rehabilitation outcomes obtained during the recovery process while also facilitating a more efficient use of available healthcare resources.

Below is a list of all clinical studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals that used Rehametrics with their patients to address different clinical goals.
