Project Title: Supporting Termination Of stereotyPies in patients with RETT syndrome by advanced ambient intelligence

Project Acronym: STOPme

Description: Supporting patients with cognitive impairment requires effective and imperceptible monitoring systems.

The STOPme project focuses on Rett syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe motor and cognitive impairment, including the onset of stereotypies and cardiorespiratory impairment.

STOPme aims to monitor the patient's psychomotor arousal in real time using a wearable multisensory sensing system that uses textile and skin sensors.

The project extends beyond the development of a single device, developing the concept of a multilevel interactive environment and integrating the wearable system's functions with home automation, exploring its feasibility and market prospects.

STOPme can easily be extended to other neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
