Our recent lunch and learn took a peek at how we might support stroke rehabilitation patients as they transition from hospital to home!

From this amazing crossover between the CIDI, Tools for Life, SimTigrate, Shepherd Center, and Georgia Tech’s Institute for Neuroscience, Neurotechnology, and Society (INNS), we were walked through preliminary results on how Integrated Smart Transitional Home Labs might support stroke rehabilitation patients transition home.

Thanks so much to the team for sharing their work!
