Shaping the Future of Rehabilitation through Education
EDUWEAR’s objective is to create an interdisciplinary EU e-learning course, complemented with hands-on exercises, integrating engineering and health sciences. It aims to equip learners with skills to design customisable wearable devices for rehabilitation, which necessitates the integration of a range of competencies.
