The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with Catalan SME Doole Health, has developed an advanced telerehabilitation platform called Rehabilify which enables patients to continue their treatment at home while keeping in touch with medical teams and ensuring personalised, effective and continuous monitoring.
The platform, which has been backed by the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute’s clinical and telemedicine expertise, is already undergoing pilot testing in three hospitals in Spain, Ireland and Portugal and is expected to be commercially available from January 2026.
Rehabilify seeks to enhance patient care and furnish healthcare professionals with more tools through digital interaction and a data management system for practitioners, a mobile app for patients and an environment for third-party developers delivering an open, scalable and interoperable ecosystem.
The project is coordinated by Eurecat and has been funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme as part of a pre-commercial procurement (PCP) process.
“Teaming up with healthcare businesses like Doole Health on initiatives such as Rehabilify showcases Eurecat’s commitment to driving distinctive, results-oriented technological innovation with real impact which bolsters competitiveness and makes it easier for partner companies to expand internationally,” says Felip Miralles, Director of Health Technologies at Eurecat.
“Rehabilify seeks to bring together multiple digital solutions that can be prescribed by clinicians,” adds David Marí, Eurecat’s Director of Digital Health. “The key standout feature is thus flexibility in bundling rehabilitation solutions which are managed through a single platform.”
“Rehabilify epitomises the kind of projects that make our technology meaningful: real solutions for specific clinical challenges,” argues José Maria Ruíz, Doole Health’s CEO. “Our platform enables the deployment of personalised, scalable telerehabilitation services which are seamlessly built into each facility’s care processes with no technological dependencies. We are committed to an open and interoperable model that fast-tracks uptake of digital services with measurable impact on both the patient experience and the efficiency of professional teams.”
The project, which is being tested in a pilot phase as part of the ROSIA project at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dublin, Salud Aragón in Barbastro and Alcañiz and the Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra in Coimbra, is designed to implement a scalable and sustainable software-as-a-service (SaaS) model which connects innovative solutions with hospitals and medical facilities and generates business opportunities for rehabilitation technology developers.
“Rehabilify seeks to transform telerehabilitation with a digital platform connecting patients, professionals and technological innovation to deliver personalised, accessible and evidence-based remote care,” comments Jordi Escuder, Head of Digital Health Innovation at Eurecat.
This innovation “offers a comprehensive, unifying and modular digital ecosystem blending artificial intelligence, integration with external applications and shared treatment plans to enable personalised and effective telerehabilitation,” points out Eurecat Digital Health researcher Ana Tost.
