Junior IT Consultant - (Sant Just Desvern, Barcelona)

We provide comprehensive and intensive care to patients with stroke, head injury, or acquired brain injuries, working in a multidisciplinary team: physiatrist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, and neuropsychologist. Our aim is to ensure the continuity of care for the patient with acquired brain injury during the different stages of the rehabilitation process, including novel technologies. The Neurological Rehabilitation and Brain Injury Unit (Neurorehabilitation Knowledge Area) has participated together with the Neurovascular Research Laboratory (VHIR) in three research projects funded by the Carlos III Health Institute aimed at finding biomarkers to monitor and predict the recovery of stroke patients after intensive rehabilitation programs (PRI). The aim of this research is to be able to find neuro-repair markers that allow us to individualize rehabilitation therapies and move towards personalized neurorehabilitation medicine.
