Summary of published approaches focused on information and communication technology–based solutions for cognitive rehabilitation.
| Approach | Description | Result | Main feature |
| Remote acquisition of neuropsychological data [60] | An architecture that allows collaborative video conferencing and continuous virtual interaction with patient | Data are successfully obtained from patients who are not familiar with technology |
|
| Living Labs [61] | Interaction with real world is monitored by health care sensing | Living Labs improves independence and quality of life |
|
| Virtual reality [62] | A virtual reality–based prototype to improve coordination skills of stroke patients | A technology-assisted solution that improves endurance abilities |
|
| Noninvasive, open, and distributed architectures (RehabNet) [63] | A system based on neuroscience that provides an interactive interface for stroke rehabilitation | Patients with high spasticity had better control by using a regular glove |
|
| Brain-computer interfaces [64] | Communication tool to support neuronal plasticity by activating language circuits | Aphasia patients initially had problems to use the paradigm of the visual speller |
|
| Tele-stroke [65-68] | Wireless telemedicine and mobile apps: teleradiology [66] | This improves the efficiency of the usage of resources as well as the interaction with patients |
|
| Robots [69] | A socially assistive robotic platform to propose and adopt new plans to new situations in real time | It maintains verbal and nonverbal communication with users |
|
| Dashboard design [70] | Use of an interactive dashboard platform to assess upper limb movements in daily living | It improves the acquisition of users’ data, engagement of patients, and coordination between clinicians |
