AIRe – Agentic Intelligence for Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation

AIRe offers users a new way to manage their rehabilitation independently with AI assistance, regardless of time or place. Through the AIRe Talk service, users can communicate in their own natural language about their situation and needs.

One of the core functionalities of AIRe is that AIRe Talk helps identify rehabilitation needs and set concrete goals. After discussing the user’s needs and objectives, AIRe Talk suggests content such as exercise programmes or educational or informational resources to support rehabilitation. If AIRe cannot provide the required support, it directs the user to other digital or

face-to-face services. It monitors progress by sending reminders and requesting feedback, which it uses to adapt its recommendations to better match the user’s circumstances.

AIRe Talk can be used by self-directed service users as part of their rehabilitation. The service is also suitable for family carers and other close contacts who support the rehabilitation of their close one.

AIRe’s core functionalities for professional users, such as rehabilitation specialists or therapists, are managed within AIRe Hub. Professionals can create themes that support rehabilitation for different client groups, add selected content, build questionnaires, and train the agentic AI to respond to clients’ needs in a targeted way. AIRe can be trained using theme-specific prompts and by adding reliable sources, such as research articles relevant to the theme.

In addition, third-party digital services can be integrated into AIRe through open interfaces. This provides clients with access to a wide range of rehabilitation-supporting applications and resources, significantly improving guidance towards appropriate services.

In AIRe Talk, themes, content and questionnaires become an integral part of the conversation, confined to theme-specific areas defined by professional prompts and trusted sources. Agentic AI trained by professionals makes AIRe a trusted partner on the rehabilitation journey, responding comprehensively to diverse rehabilitation needs.

The solution is built on a microservices architecture and consists of several independent modules that interact with each other. This structure ensures flexibility and scalability. The core modules are:

· AIRe Services – provides personalised services to users through open API interfaces

· AIRe ID – manages user identification and authentication

· AIRe Memory – responsible for data storage and retrieval

· AIRe AI – integrates AI capabilities, such as user interaction, assessment and monitoring, and learns from the user’s situation to deliver better support

· AIRe Talk – a user interface enabling natural language interaction with users

· AIRe Hub – serves as the interface for professional users and acts as the integration point for all modules as well as the system configuration platform Figure 1 provides an overview of the modules described above.

AIRe has been developed using a range of latest technological solutions. The platform’s core functionalities are based on open-source code, which will be published on GitHub under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0) in the beginning of 2026. This licence protects the core solution while allowing commercial use and broader reuse. Publishing the core as open source enables further development and deployment across different organisations and contexts. All code modifications must be returned to the project in GitHub.

In addition, AIRe’s development has utilised commercial solutions, which can be replaced if necessary thanks to the platform’s modular architecture. For example, the AI module uses a Microsoft Azure OpenAI-compatible interface to provide advanced AI capabilities, such as natural language processing and other AI-driven functions to support rehabilitation. AIRe also uses Microsoft Azure cloud services as its backend infrastructure.

Data protection principles are a core part of AIRe’s software development and are implemented in compliance with GDPR regulations and best practices. The solution uses information from the user’s personal profile as well as details the user shares with AIRe Talk about their functioning and condition. The collection and processing of personal data are strictly limited to purposes necessary for service delivery, such as creating a user account and collecting log data for optimising conversation analytics.

The processing of personal data in AIRe is always based on a lawful basis, such as user consent or the controller’s public interest. Data is anonymised whenever possible, and personal data is retained only for as long as necessary. Within AIRe Talk, users can delete their conversation history and remove or anonymise their account. Only anonymised user data is used for further development of AIRe.

All data is protected with strong encryption and authentication methods. AIRe uses SSL/TLS protocols for data transmission, and access to personal data is restricted through role-based access control.

All services and backend systems used by AIRe are located within the EU, in Microsoft’s Northern Europe data centre in Sweden. AIRe’s chat is configured to use Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI interface, which does not use conversations for AI training and does not share user inputs with third parties.

As of September 2025, AIRe is at Technology Readiness Level 4. At this stage, technology validation is typically carried out in a laboratory setting using a laboratory prototype. Functional prototypes of AIRe have been tested under controlled conditions with rehabilitation end-users and professionals. These tests have been conducted in organised, supervised events to confirm the feasibility of key functionalities and the overall concept.
