Summary
The guest lecture titled Smart Assistive Rehabilitation Devices: Bridging Technology and Patient Recovery was delivered by Dr. Sweeti from M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore, on 4th April 2026 from 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM. The session began with an introduction to smart assistive technologies and their applications in the biomedical field, along with relevant case studies. The Head of the Department inaugurated the session and welcomed the speaker. During the lecture, the expert explained that smart assistive rehabilitation devices are advanced technologies designed to support recovery from injury, illness, or disability. These devices integrate robotics, sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and real-time monitoring systems. Unlike traditional rehabilitation tools, they actively assist patient movement, track performance, and adapt therapy based on individual needs. The speaker highlighted various examples such as: Robotic exoskeletons for mobility Smart prosthetics and orthoses Wearable sensors for motion tracking Virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation systems She emphasized that these technologies enable personalized therapy, enhance patient engagement, and support remote monitoring by healthcare professionals.
