Progress towards a service-oriented universal access telerehabilitation platform

Abstract

This paper addresses how UniTherapy, a telerehabilitation platform developed primarily for computer-assisted motivating rehabilitation applications, is being turned into an accessible service. This process has involved transformation to a service-oriented universal access infrastructure that also supports intelligent context-aware user interface generation that is dependent on current and emerging standards such as the V2 standard for universal remote consoles. It also has involved support for a steadily increasing, diverse menu of approaches for performance assessment, and of interfaces for promoting universal access. Progress and key issues are discussed.
