#REHABWEEK2025

ACRM PROGRAM

The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) is pleased to participate in RehabWeek 2025. We have an exciting program of 16 live and interactive presentations and over 100 posters by researchers, engineers and clinicians from 19 countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.

Our program of live presentations covers emerging areas of R&D that will have a substantial impact on rehabilitation outcomes for people with a variety of disabling neurological conditions and diseases.

Topics for live presentation include data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, chatbots, precision rehabilitation, fall management and prevention, health disparities, smart home technologies, remote physiologic/therapeutic monitoring (RPM/RTM), telehealth, functional electrical stimulation, assistive robots, and neuromodulation.

Special Symposium: Leadership Development at the Interface of Innovation and Technology

ACRM has invited guest speaker Dr. Linda Plano to kick off our special symposium on “Leadership Development at the Interface of Innovation and Technology.” Dr, Plano will talk about her “Perfect Pitch Framework for Rehabilitation Communications”, as a critical component for innovators in rehabilitation technology. Our 2-session special symposium includes presentations by R&D innovators and ACRM leaders. They will cover strategies for addressing leadership challenges throughout the arc of innovation in rehabilitation technology. We invite all RehabWeek attendees to join us for this engaging and informative discussion.
