• Abstract: Visuospatial neglect is a disorder characterised by impaired awareness for visual stimuli located in regions of space and frames of reference. It is often associated with stroke. Patients can struggle with all aspects of daily living and community participation. Assessment methods are limited and show several shortcomings, considering they are mainly performed on paper and do not implement the complexity of daily life. Similarly, treatment options are sparse and often show only small improvements. We present an artificial intelligence solution designed to accurately assess a patient's visuospatial neglect in a three-dimensional setting. We implement an active learning method based on Gaussian process regression to reduce the effort it takes a patient to undergo an assessment. Furthermore, we describe how this model can be utilised in patient oriented treatment and how this opens the way to gamification, tele-rehabilitation and personalised healthcare, providing a promising avenue for improving patient engagement and rehabilitation outcomes. To validate our assessment module, we conducted clinical trials involving patients in a real-world setting. We compared the results obtained using our AI-based assessment with the widely used conventional visuospatial neglect tests currently employed in clinical practice. The validation process serves to establish the accuracy and reliability of our model, confirming its potential as a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring visuospatial neglect. Our VR application proves to be more sensitive, while intra-rater reliability remains high.

  We propose an automatic assessment pipeline that starts by recognizing patients' movements by means of a shallow deep learning architecture, then measuring the movement quality using jerk measure and related measures. A particularity of this work is that the dataset used is clinically relevant, since it represents movements inspired from Fugl-Meyer a well common upper-limb clinical stroke assessment scale for stroke patients. We show that it is possible to detect the contrast between healthy and patients movements in terms of smoothness, besides achieving conclusions about the patients' progress during the rehabilitation sessions that correspond to the clinicians' findings about each case.
