REHAB 2022 : REHAB 2022 : 6th Workshop on ICTs for improving Patients Rehabilitation Research Techniques

REHAB 2022 (http://rehab2022.unizar.es/), which will be organized between the 08st-09rd of September 2022, in University of Zaragoza, Teruel-Spain.

GOALS AND TOPICS
The 6TH edition of the International Workshop on ICTS for Improving Patients Rehabilitation (Rehab 2022) will take place in Teruel (Aragón, Spain), at the campus of the University of Zaragoza, from September 8th to 9th, 2022, together with conference on Human-Computer Interaction (Interacción 2022) and the organization of the AffectiveLab and EduQTech research groups of the University of Zaragoza. The workshop has been organized in face-to-face mode.
The main objective of Rehab 2022 is to bring together researchers, students and professionals focused on technological systems and health, both from academia and industry, in order to promote the presentation of innovative proposals, exchange of ideas and discussion. Rehab 2022 takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the Virtual Rehabilitation discipline, so that it seeks to attract those working in computer science, but also in other disciplines.

SCOPE
During the last few years, there has been increasing interest in the application of Virtual Reality and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), in the field of rehabilitation, with clinical results that prove their effectiveness.
The virtual reality is being an increasingly used method in physical rehabilitation, allowing individualized treatments, as to facilitate learning motivation, to finally, provides patients pleasant and enjoyable homework exercises.

OBJECTIVE
This workshop invites authors to submit contributions on concepts Virtual Rehabilitation Discussion, applications, techniques or environments where interaction design play a central role by improving the rehabilitation process at all levels.
