Renewing rehabilitation through development projects
The goal of our development projects is to widely renew and develop the approaches and competence of rehabilitation. Our multidisciplinary expert network will plan and execute development projects closely together with national and international collaboration networks.
We act as the forerunner of rehabilitation and pilot interesting ways to implement rehabilitation.

Breaking Education Barriers: Inclusion, Rehabilitation and Technology
BERT project aims to contribute towards the enhanced capacity of higher education institutions in East Africa to break down barriers hindering the full inclusion of persons with disabilities into society in the digital era.
AIRe Platform
The project (2022–2024) aimed to develop, together with innovation partners, an AI-powered, open-source digital solution for self-driven service users. As a result, the AIRe Platform is now in use and serves as a simulation and testing environment at Jamk to support RDI and education activities. It includes interactive and human-centered features to support self-driven service users at different stages of their rehabilitation, from the need assessment to follow-up and re-evaluation. As AIRe is based on open-source technology, anyone is free to further develop and implement it for their own use under the terms of the Mozilla Public License (version 2.0). The open-source code of AIRe will be published on GitHub during 2025.
