To prevent such issues and aiming at shortening intensive care treatments, Early Mobilisation (EM) has been proposed as an encouraging technique: the literature includes numerous examples of the benefits of EM on the prevention of post-operative complications and adverse events. However, the appropriate application of EM programmes entails the use of scarce resources, both human and technical. Information and Communication Technologies can play a key role in reducing cost and improving the practice of EM. Although there is rich literature on EM practice and its potential benefits, there are some barriers that must be overcome, and technology, i.e., the use of sensors, robotics or information systems, can contribute to that end. This article reviews the literature and analyses on the use of technology in the area of EM, and moreover, it proposes a smart health-enhanced scenario.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21165408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]],"date-time":"2021-08-10T22:40:31Z","timestamp":1628635231000},"page":"5408","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Smart Health-Enhanced Early Mobilisation in Intensive Care Units"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2600-1362","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Ferre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering and Mathematics, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, E43007 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8046-6016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edgar","family":"Batista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering and Mathematics, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, E43007 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4881-6215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agusti","family":"Solanas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering and Mathematics, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, E43007 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1787-7410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antoni","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Ballest\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering and Mathematics, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, E43007 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1515\/jtim-2016-0016","article-title":"Post-intensive Care Syndrome: An Overview","volume":"5","author":"Rawal","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
