TeleRehaB DSS Privacy Policy
Introduction:
The EU-funded TeleRehaB DSS project will develop an AI-based decision support system (DSS) building on the existing Augmented Reality (AR) rehabilitation training platform and the tools from the HOLOBALANCE[1] project. The AI models will assess prognostic factors for the risk of falls, treatment effectiveness, outcomes, and side effects at the baseline level, using several retrospective data for initial training. The models will introduce automated balance intervention planning and management functionality to provide optimal personalised rehabilitation activities and ensure automated remote patient monitoring with wearables and IoT sensing devices, allowing rehabilitation training at home.
This mobile application allows users to access information about the rehabilitation exercises prescribed by medical professionals, complete health questionnaires, and grant the access to the data collected from Garmin wearables. The privacy and security of users’ data are of utmost importance to us, and this policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Data Collection and Usage All data collected during the project is used exclusively for research purposes within the framework of the TeleRehaB DSS European project. Specifically:
- Types of Data Collected
- Health Data: Information provided by users in health questionnaires.
- Wearable Data: Data collected from Garmin devices, including activity and health metrics.
- Purpose of Data Collection
- To personalize rehabilitation exercises.
- To evaluate treatment effectiveness and health outcomes.
- To support AI-based models in analyzing and improving rehabilitation practices.
- Data Anonymization All collected data is anonymized by assigning a unique code to each device. The correspondence between this code and the individual’s identity is known only by the healthcare professional involved, ensuring privacy and compliance with ethical standards.
Data Storage and Management Data is securely stored and managed by ICSS on behalf of the TeleRehaB consortium. Robust security measures are implemented to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or misuse of data.
Data Sharing User data is not shared with third parties outside the TeleRehaB consortium except when required for research purposes under strict confidentiality agreements.
Data Retention and Deletion Data collected will be securely deleted at the user’s request, where applicable.
