N2 - RehabVisual allows for the monitoring of the entire clinical interaction with a patient, integrating evaluation and intervention, through the reaction to a set of visual stimulation videos. These functionalities allow for a standardization of the evaluations; the monitorization of the baby’s abilities over time, as well as the analysis of their evolution; and the creation of a more systematic, protocolized visual stimulation interaction. The use of the platform was tested, through the application of a variety of usability tests, which were performed by occupational therapists at D. Estefânia Hospital and Rehabilitation Medicine Center of Alcoitão. The efficiency of the tool, in a population of six infants younger than 18 months of age, displaying clear developmental alterations due to preterm birth, was also evaluated during occupational therapy. Throughout the therapy program, the occupational therapist selected, for each baby, specific stimuli that were in line with that baby’s behaviour in previous sessions. After using the platform for a while, all feedback from therapists was highly positive. In addition, the possibility to use it throughout the whole paediatrics service was thoroughly appreciated.
