Resume:

1.- RecoveriX is a stroke rehabilitation system that measures brain signals with EEG and provides real-time visual and functional electrical stimulation feedback.

2.- The feedback loop stimulates nervous pathways during motor imagery to elicit brain plasticity and help relearn correct movements.

3.- RecoveriX at Home is an Android app that lets patients do additional motor imagery training at home to supplement in-gym RecoveriX therapy.

4.- The app has a 7-day free trial, then costs ~30/year. It provides visual avatar feedback but no EEG measurement or stimulation.

5.- Patients select upper/lower extremity training, audio language, and session length. The app is available worldwide in many languages on Google Play.

6.- An iOS version of RecoveriX at Home for iPad/iPhone is in development and will be released in the coming weeks.

7.- Gamification can make the high number of repetitions required for motor rehabilitation less boring and more engaging for patients.

8.- One game has patients do motor imagery to scare away rats trying to steal cheese. More successful trials = more remaining cheese.

9.- Another game has patients play drums corresponding to musical pieces using lower extremity motor imagery. Successful trials attract a bigger audience.

10.- Testing showed the games did not negatively impact BCI accuracy compared to regular avatar feedback, and remained high across multiple sessions.

11.- Patients found the games easy to use, thought they helped concentration, and alleviated boredom compared to regular BCI rehabilitation.

12.- QR codes were provided to download RecoveriX at Home and register for the opening of a new RecoveriX gym in Frankfurt.
