RGS-ICU, Rehabilitation Gaming System for Intensive Care Units
The RGS-ICU is a digital tool for early motor and cognitive rehabilitation of critical patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The goal of the RGS-ICU solution is to accelerate the recovery of critically ill patients, reduce the number of days in ICU, minimize post-discharge sequelae, improve quality of life, increase the likelihood of returning to work, and lower the high per-patient ICU costs for the hospital.
The RGS-ICU project has consisted of four main phases:
- Firstly, the necessary hardware components were selected and integrated, and the mobile module of the solution was industrially designed.
- Secondly, rehabilitation software was developed based on the requirements provided by the neuropsychology team from the external collaborator, the Hospital Universitari Parc Taulí. For this, a series of software development and testing iterations were conducted in the ICU simulation room at Parc Taulí Hospital.
- Thirdly, a technical verification of the solution was performed, and its clinical use was validated in a real ICU context with 15 critical patients. Results obtained during the evaluation by the Parc Taulí Hospital team demonstrate that the solution is clinically viable, recommended, and well-received by ICU patients. The detailed evaluation report is attached to this document.
- Finally, as part of the quality development process, the results of the technical verification were used to create the RGS-ICU solution’s technical sheet, which will be used for CE certification of the product as a medical device under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745.
