Telehealth & Connected Health Solutions

SONA is an advanced robotic platform used to explore how robotics may support healthcare environments in the future. The system allows students and researchers to experiment with mobility robotics, remote interaction, and technology-assisted care concepts.

Within the Smart Center, SONA provides a hands-on opportunity to investigate how robotic technologies may assist with engagement, observation, and support tasks in clinical and community care settings.

Virtual Reality (VR) places users inside fully immersive, interactive environments designed to simulate real-world clinical scenarios. This allows students, clinicians, and caregivers to practice procedures, refine decision-making, and build confidence in a controlled, risk-free setting.

VR enhances learning retention, improves skill development, and provides a scalable approach to hands-on training without the limitations of physical space or resources.
 

TeleSensor and telemonitoring systems enable continuous, real-time tracking of patient vital signs outside traditional clinical environments. By leveraging connected devices and remote data transmission, healthcare providers can monitor conditions proactively, detect issues earlier, and intervene faster.

This approach reduces the need for in-person visits, expands access for patients in remote or underserved areas, and supports individuals with mobility limitations—while maintaining a high standard of care.
