Kite Research Spotlight
The KITE Research Spotlight showcases the latest research from world leaders in complex rehabilitation science. Their research guides the development of new treatments, devices and products as well as changes to policy that will ultimately improve the lives of people living with the effects of disability, illness and aging.
Kite Researchers Confirm Benefits Of Cardiac Rehab Using Real-World Data
A team led by KITE Senior Scientist Prof. Sherry Grace reviewed data of 300,000 patients from across the globe.
This data can be used to lobby governments to augment the funding and availability of cardiac rehab services. – Prof. Sherry Grace
Personal Tablets Could Improve The Quality Of Life Of People Living With Dementia In Long-Term Care Homes
The results of this study could not only improve the lives of residents with dementia but also help combat negative perception of their abilities.
Using existing devices helps tackle stigma and negative perceptions of the abilities of individuals living with dementia. – Dr. Arlene Astell
Investigating The Effectiveness of AI Driven Virtual Rehab At Home
The results of this paper will ultimately help improve accessibility to care for those living with the effects of disability, injury and aging.
Despite increasing research on AI in virtual rehabilitation, its application in real-world settings for people living in the community remains minimally explored. – Dr. Shehroz Khan
High-Intensity Interval Training Could Drastically Improve Cardiorespiratory Health For Stroke Patients
This paper, for the first time, identifies the benefits of a novel type of exercise training that more than doubles the improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness level.
High-intensity intervals resulted in more than a two-fold significant and clinically important greater change in cardiorespiratory fitness. – Dr. Susan Marzolini
Use Of Non-Invasive Breathing Device To Alleviate Obstructive And Central Sleep Apnea Improves Quality Of Life
Findings published in Lancet Respiratory Medicine should help cardiologists worldwide update heart failure treatment guidelines.
In those with central sleep apnea, treatment tended to improve survival. – Dr. Douglas Bradley
