Principal Investigator
Prof. Manish Anand & Sujatha Srinivasan
Objective
- To deploy PLUTO-H rehabilitation systems across underserved healthcare centres and train rehabilitation professionals in delivering standardized robotic hand neurorehabilitation, Deployment of 10 PLUTO-H systems across selected healthcare centres, Training and certification of therapists and healthcare providers, Integration of standardized rehabilitation protocols, Clinical usage monitoring and technical support, Development of a scalable rehabilitation deployment model, Equitable access to rehabilitation, standardization of therapy delivery, capacity building for therapists, and technology-enabled rehabilitation closer to communities
Description
- The objective of the project is to deploy PLUTO-H rehabilitation systems across underserved healthcare centres and train rehabilitation professionals in delivering standardized robotic hand neurorehabilitation.
Impact
- Deployment of rehabilitation technology across 10 healthcare centres, Increased access to standardized hand neurorehabilitation, Improved therapist capacity and rehabilitation quality, Reduced disparity in rehabilitation access, Improved recovery pathways for stroke survivors, Addresses a critical healthcare inequity challenge by bringing advanced rehabilitation technology beyond elite urban hospitals and closer to underserved communities, Potential to transform stroke rehabilitation outcomes, improve functional recovery and restore independence for thousands of individuals who otherwise may never receive access to high-quality therapy
