Research focus
The IN-MOTO project – Artificial Intelligence, Neuroimaging, and Home Devices for Innovative Home-Based Cognitive and Motor Rehabilitation in Patients with Neurological Damage – aims to create a data-driven digital healthcare ecosystem. It integrates rehabilitation devices, environmental sensors, and wearables to collect and analyze large volumes of clinical and behavioral data. The approach is geared toward personalized medicine, remote care, and telemedicine, with tools for continuous monitoring, rehabilitation management, and clinical decision support. The focus is on ensuring interoperability, security, and scalability, in line with international standards (HL7 FHIR, GDPR).
Solution found
The project's goal is to create a next-generation digital platform based on microservices architecture and designed to natively integrate clinical data, streams from rehabilitation devices, wearable sensors, and environmental sensors.
The innovative core of the solution lies in advanced machine learning and deep learning models, capable of processing large volumes of heterogeneous data to extract clinically relevant patterns. These algorithms go beyond descriptive analysis to enable a full-fledged decision support system, providing physicians and therapists with dynamic and predictive recommendations for personalizing rehabilitation programs. The goal is to transform data into actionable evidence, reducing clinical variability and improving therapeutic efficacy.

To ensure responsiveness and service continuity even in home environments, the platform adopts a hybrid edge-cloud architecture: an edge computing gateway performs pre-processing and local data analysis in real time, reducing latency and ensuring operational resilience. The cloud layer, on the other hand, manages scalability, model training, and secure data persistence.
The entire system is designed according to the principles of security-by-design and privacy-by-default, complying with HL7 FHIR interoperability standards and GDPR regulations, thus ensuring security, reliability, and integration with existing healthcare ecosystems.
Advanced technological solution
The In Moto project uses cutting-edge technologies such as:
AI Engine
