About

Pablo Casado-Adam is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in robotic systems and serious games for post-stroke recovery. His work bridges neuroscience, robotics, and telerehabilitation to develop accessible, home-based therapies for upper limb impairment. His most impactful contribution is the MERLIN robotic system, a serious game-based platform designed for at-home rehabilitation after stroke. In a landmark 2021 usability study (106 citations), Casado-Adam demonstrated that MERLIN enables patients to extend their recovery beyond clinical settings, increasing therapy dosage and engagement through gamified exercises. This work addresses a critical gap in stroke rehabilitation: the need for affordable, motivating, and continuous care outside hospitals. By integrating robotic assistance with interactive software, his research has shown measurable improvements in motor function and patient adherence. Casado-Adam’s contributions are shaping the future of decentralized neurorehabilitation, offering scalable solutions that empower patients to regain independence. His work has been recognized for its potential to reduce healthcare costs while improving quality of life, making him a key figure in the translation of neurotechnology from lab to living room.
