This Interreg NWE project aims at creating a plateform that creates for rehabilitation practitionners the possibility to integrate XR games within their everyday work with patients. This plateform (that we also call "virtual clinic") would also potentially help patients pursue their rehabilitation process at home, while still allowing practitionner to monitore their practice through distance.

Objectives
Scale-Up4Rehab is a five year project which will provide a platform to take a major step forward in the digitization of the rehabilitation sector, by being the first to build an open virtual rehabilitation "clinic," which will scale up existing virtual rehabilitation therapies across north-west Europe.
Results
- University of lille contributes to WP 1 (Virtual rehabilitation clinic framework development ) by sketching several technical services that virtual clinic may provide, either in its firt version or in future version, in order to facilitate software collaboration between virtual clininc and rehabilitation games, for achieving integrated activity for practitionners, as well as secure rehabilitation process for patients.
- University of Lille also contributes to WP2, activity 1 (pre-pilots belgium and france) with EuraSanté partner through participative sessions with local medical structures, and 4 (Virtual Rehabilitation implementation support) through two points: first, the development of exploratory games, that helps sketching possible software services for the virtual clinic; second, PhD student work about large displays interaction, that can potentially be a specific practitionner tool for game configuration, for the aspects that deal with patient movement abilities.
