Rett syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder of genetic origin, discovered in 1965 by Dr. Rett, who observed peculiar stereotyped hand movements in some young girls. These patients are not self-sufficient and have an intrinsic structural and functional fragility. A distinctive feature of the syndrome is the presence of stereotypies\u2014repetitive movements triggered by excitement or emotional stress but also present regardless of a cause\u2014that mostly involve the hands and mouth, and could need to be controlled to prevent involuntary self-injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stereotypies may or may not be associated with abnormal breathing patterns, which can include rapid breathing, hyperventilation, or apnea, with potential cardiovascular impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main objectives are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O1<\/strong>. Development of a compact wearable system for sensing biopotentials and deformations, based on custom textile\/epidermal technologies and both commercial and custom electronics for data acquisition and transmission, also integrating inertial sensors for motion detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O2<\/strong>. Training of artificial intelligence capable of locally recognizing the onset of motor or respiratory stereotypies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O3<\/strong>. Integration of simple actuators to stimulate the interruption of the stereotypy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O4<\/strong>. Development of an integrated demonstrator tested in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O5<\/strong>. Technical and economic feasibility study (through proof-of-concept support) of an integrated interactive environment designed to assist individuals with Rett syndrome by helping them interrupt stereotypies even in the temporary absence of a caregiver, and in a more effective way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O6<\/strong>. Study of similar use cases to extend the system to other conditions of vulnerability caused by chronic or neurodegenerative diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
