Supporting Termination Of stereotyPies in patients with RETT syndrome by advanced ambient intelligence

Abstract

Supporting patients with cognitive impairments requires effective and unobtrusive monitoring systems. The STOPme project focuses on a paradigmatic case: Rett syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe motor and cognitive impairment, including the presence of stereotypies and cardiorespiratory dysfunctions.
STOPme aims to evaluate in real-time the patient’s psychomotor activation state, monitoring the onset of neuromotor stereotypies and hypo-/hyperventilation patterns, in order to train the patient to interrupt the stereotypies.
