About

Jonathan Mortes is a researcher at the forefront of accessible rehabilitation technologies, specializing in wearable sensors, telerehabilitation, and human–machine interaction. His most cited work, "ARMIA: A Sensorized Arm Wearable for Motor Rehabilitation" (2022), introduces a low-cost wearable integrating inertial and surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors to enable patients to engage with serious games during remote therapy. This innovation directly addresses the prohibitive cost of robotic rehabilitation devices, making home-based motor recovery more affordable and scalable. With 13 citations, this paper has already influenced the design of cost-effective, sensor-driven rehabilitation tools. Mortes’ contributions lie in bridging the gap between clinical-grade sensing and everyday usability, empowering patients to perform guided exercises independently while maintaining therapist oversight through telerehabilitation platforms. His work is particularly notable for its emphasis on democratizing access to rehabilitation technology, reducing barriers for underserved populations. By combining biomechanical and physiological sensing in a single wearable, Mortes is shaping a future where recovery from motor impairments is not limited by geography or financial resources.
