Rehabilitation with robots and avatars: Telefónica Tech’s technological solution for the healthcare sector

The healthcare and social care sector faces challenges such as rising costs, a shortage of professionals, and barriers to accessing therapies. At Telefónica Tech, we drive innovative solutions such as rehabilitation with robots and avatars, which reduces the care burden by up to 90% and triples treatment intensity.

The solution combines robotics, virtual reality (VR), and computer vision, offering both a physical modality with a humanoid robot and a virtual one via an app or VR headset. It is designed for children with physical disabilities and older adults, helping to improve mobility, muscle strength, and motivation. 99% of patients humanise the robot, feeling more accompanied and empowered.
