Objective

You understand what the new and emerging technologies in the rehabilitation are and how these technologies blend into rehabilitation process. You can compare how different technologies transform and renew the rehabilitation processes and work in different fields of rehabilitation. You can critically evaluate the pros and cons of different solutions by considering individual needs of different people. You know how to do specification of requirement and know what to take into account when planning acquisition of new digital rehabilitation solutions and services. You can use and implement various solutions and forms of digital rehabilitation.

Content
