How you'll learn
Training 100 % online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is MediaPipe, Unity, OpenSim, Kinovea, REDCap, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Trials are studied using real motion capture procedures with cameras and inertial sensors, design of digital therapeutic exercise programmes, and adherence assessment in pilot studies with patients. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Compare synchronous, asynchronous and hybrid tele-rehabilitation models.
Select sensors and motion capture systems for home-based monitoring.
Design digital therapeutic exercise programmes tailored to the patient.
Specify interoperable and secure tracking platforms.
Measure clinical and functional outcomes using validated instruments.
Where this takes you
Requirements
- Prior technical training or professional experience in the sector. No university degree is required.
