Assistance technologies related to the Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) to improve physical and social autonomy, as well as the quality of life of people suffering disabilities. BackHome project develops a solution that allows to cover the needs of these people and offer inclusion services and teleassistance to those who need it.
BackHome has achieved 5 key innovations, advancing the current state of the art: (i) a modular and distributed architecture; (ii) a new BCI system with practical electrodes that aim to set a new standard of lightness, autonomy, comfort and reliability; (iii) user-friendly software tailored to the needs of the users; (iv) a telemonitoring and home support system to remotely monitor and assist users when at home; and (v) a web-based application for therapists to provide and monitor cognitive rehabilitation and to offer guidance relating to the quality of life of the users.
