dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores opportunities to enhance patient engagement in stroke rehabilitation through the design of an instrumented object aimed at improving fine motor skills at home. Using a Research through Design approach, the study focuses on the development of MorlensRehab, a sensor-based device that incorporates occupational therapy exercises. The prototype was used in a co-creation workshop to identify and better understand the needs and experiences of a diverse group of stakeholders, including rehabilitation patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and technology developers. A thematic analysis of the workshop data uncovered key themes such as motivation and engagement, monitoring health and wellness, and social connectedness, highlighting factors that influence the adoption of technology in rehabilitation. Insights from the workshop also provided recommendations for more user- friendly iterations of MorlensRehab and emphasized the importance of developing an ecosystem of supporting products that can enhance patient engagement and the adoption of rehabilitative technologies.
