About

Dr. P Jagan is at the forefront of integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced robotics into physical rehabilitation, with a focused mission to make therapy more accessible and effective. His key research areas encompass IoT-enabled healthcare systems, assistive robotics, and biosignal processing for motor recovery. Dr. Jagan’s major contributions include the development of the "XoRehab" system, an IoT-enabled wheelchair that allows patients to perform lower limb rehabilitation from home under remote professional supervision, a breakthrough that democratizes access to quality care. Building on this, his "Advanced Wheelchair Rehabilitation" system introduces a novel 9-degree-of-freedom platform augmented by surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, enabling simultaneous therapy for both upper and lower limbs. This work directly addresses the critical need for integrated, data-driven rehabilitation that adapts to a patient’s own muscle activity. While his most-cited papers have garnered early attention (4 citations each), their recent publication in 2023 and 2024 signals a rapidly growing impact. Dr. Jagan’s work is pioneering a future where smart, robotic wheelchairs serve not just as mobility aids, but as comprehensive, personalized therapy stations, promising to transform recovery outcomes.
