Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RGS+ campaign about?

Through this campaign, we aim to raise awareness of the benefits of the RGS+ application for supporting people recovering from stroke, encourage daily use, and inform both caregivers and healthcare professionals about the positive impact of this advanced technology, leveraging the latest innovations in virtual, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence.

What is the RGS+ app, and how does it work?

The RGS+ app is an innovative digital platform based on scientific principles of brain function and recovery, 20 years of clinical studies, and designed to support stroke rehabilitation at home. It combines personalized exercises with Virtual- and Augmented Reality gamified tasks to improve motor skills, memory, language, and cognitive function. By using adaptive AI technologies, the RGS+ app tailors activities to each user's abilities and progress, providing feedback and enhancing motivation to accelerate recovery. Its engaging design makes at-home rehabilitation more effective and enjoyable.

How can the RGS+ app help with stroke recovery?
The RGS+ app supports stroke rehabilitation through targeted exercises designed to help improve motor function, memory, language, and cognitive skills. By integrating adaptive technologies, the app tracks progress, provides feedback, and maintains user motivation through interactive and motivating experiences.
Has the RGS+ app been clinically tested or validated?
Yes, the RGS system has been tested and validated through clinical trials, which demonstrated its effectiveness in supporting stroke rehabilitation (see more info here). The extensive research confirms that RGS+ is a reliable and accessible solution for improving recovery outcomes. (recent review).
Is the RGS+ app suitable for all types of stroke patients?
The RGS+ app is designed to be adaptable to a wide range of users recovering from stroke. However, its effectiveness depends on individual needs and the severity of the condition. Healthcare professionals can assess whether the app meets rehabilitation goals and requirements.
