Grassroots: AI companions and telemetry for home-based rehabilitation and chronic care

About

We are an innovative SME developing an AI-based solution for home-based rehabilitation and chronic-care support. It combines interactive AI companions, which guide and motivate users through physical exercise in real time, with medical-grade monitoring (e.g. ECG, blood pressure, SpO₂). The aim is to improve adherence, enable remote supervision and support independent living. The technology has been validated in a laboratory setting (TRL 4), and our first application is cardiac rehabilitation.

We want to join a consortium as a technology and research partner for:

  • HORIZON-HLTH-2027-02-DISEASE-01: a digital component for home monitoring, adherence and long-term follow-up within a clinical trial for cardiovascular disease

  • HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01-STAYHLTH-01: innovative rehabilitation with assistive technology, supporting older people and people with long-term functional limitations to live independently, stay active and avoid isolation

We bring expertise in AI and human–AI interaction, movement analysis, health data analytics, user-centred co-design and regulatory pathways (MDR and the EU AI Act).

We are looking for:

  • a coordinator

  • clinical centres and rehabilitation providers

  • organisations representing patients or persons with disabilities

  • partners in health economics and social sciences
