About

Guillermo Balastegui is a researcher advancing accessible motor rehabilitation through wearable sensing and serious games. His primary research areas include sensorized wearable devices, telerehabilitation, and human-machine interaction for motor recovery. His major contribution is the development of ARMIA, a sensorized arm wearable that integrates inertial and surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors to enable interactive rehabilitation through serious games. This innovation significantly reduces the cost of robotic assistance technologies, making them affordable for home and clinical use. ARMIA, his most-cited work with 13 citations, demonstrates the potential to democratize rehabilitation by shifting from expensive robotic systems to practical, sensor-driven wearables. Balastegui’s work bridges engineering and healthcare, offering scalable solutions for patients recovering from motor impairments. His research is notable for its focus on cost-effectiveness and user-centered design, aiming to empower end-users with accessible technology. By combining real-time sensor feedback with engaging game-based therapy, Balastegui contributes to the growing field of telerehabilitation, where remote monitoring and interactive training can improve outcomes. His achievements highlight a commitment to making rehabilitation more inclusive and widely available, with potential impacts on clinical practice and home-based recovery programs.
