The “REVITAL-Interreg SUDOE: Socioeconomic revitalization of low population density areas through clinical telecare” project had a notable participation in the II International Fair of Innovation and Technology at the Service of Care, FITECU 2025, consolidating its commitment to innovation in telecare and tele-rehabilitation services in rural areas of France, Portugal and Spain.
The members of the consortium were present at the event, where the physiotherapists from the San Cebrián Foundation showed the attending public, at a stand in the InnovaFITECU: Lab to Market area, the technologies they are using for piloting. During the day, in addition to all the visits from the professional public present at the fair, the stand received a visit from the president of the Regional Government of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, who was able to see first-hand the progress of the project and the impact it will have on the people of the three areas where the piloting will be carried out, specifically in the part of Spain and Castilla y León, where it will be carried out in the Cerrato and Tierra de Campos area.
Subsequently, all members of the consortium met to participate in a networking lunch with other members of the Fair, in which they were able to share impressions and make the REVITAL project known to other congressmen present at the Fair. Next, a family photo was taken, prior to the meeting that would be held in the afternoon.
