Advancing research, education and clinical practice in neurorehabilitation throughout the world.
Launch of AIMEDIS-Avalon rollout test phase
The project of digital rehabilitation representation supported by interactive AI avatars has reached a good level of maturity.
We can therefore start a roll out phase to use it for two targets:
1) Support CBR and FBR in low-middle income countries to augment the spread of knowledge and skills to communities (patients, families, caregivers and health professionals)
2) To help rehabilitation hospitals and clinics in rehabilitation planning, monitoring and communication for home support and telerehabilitation.
The key features of the newly available software are here:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE HERE.
If you, or your institution, are interested in joining the test phase, please contact Tracey Mole traceymole@wfnr.co.uk
We are planning a zoom meeting with all interested colleagues within the next two weeks to discuss the further planning.

Special Interest Groups
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are formal groups approved by the WFNR Presidium whose members have unique interest around a particular diagnostic group or focused practice area. SIGs are self-directed and have an agenda of work or involvement that sustains the group throughout the year. Their goals and objectives are compatible with the overall direction of the WFNR.
Education and Research
One of our key objectives is to advance the development and improve the quality of neurological rehabilitation across the world. By providing education and training to all people involved awareness of neurorehabilitation, its practice and service provision.
