INTER is a strategic cluster financed by the Fonds de recherche sur la nature et les technologies (FQRNT) of Quebec and stands for Interactive technologies of engineering in rehabilitation.
To support active interdisciplinary and intersectorial collaborations going beyond of boundaries and usual practices in several disciplines such as natural sciences, engineering, clinical sciences and management of innovation to develop innovative interactive technologies allowing the science to advance and to treat better, faster and at lower cost a big amount of persons.
To mobilize Quebec researchers in field of interactive technologies for rehabilitation to conciliate the rehabilitation needs, the research on means offered by high technologies and evaluation of new technologies developed in rehabilitation.
To support research involving :
the design and prototype interactive technologies that satisfy use constraints in real conditions by people losing their autonomy or with physical disabilities and seek to answer identified rehabilitation needs.
To provide a welcoming, facilitation and dynamic and stimulant exchanges environment between researchers, for training highly qualified people, for diffusing knowledge in scientific, public and private environments and to the general public.
To put Quebec on national and international map in the field of interactive technologies for rehabilitation and more specifically in the sectors such as smart homes, telererehabilitation, mobile systems and health technologies to contribute to economic prosperity and improvement of Quebecers’ life quality.
