The design of a digital healthcare platform to support physiotherapy exercises at home

At: Awear

The graduation assignment intended to design a digital healthcare platform to support the performance and increase adherence to prescribed physiotherapy exercises at home. The design solution includes wearable sensors and an app for patients and physiotherapists. The patient will use wearable motion sensors that analyze each move and provide real-time feedback on performance, ensuring the exercises are correctly performed. The digital healthcare platform allows the physiotherapist to monitor each session remotely; this way, he can adjust each exercise based on the patient's performance, provide feedback, and send messages. The patients can check the physiotherapist's feedback and progress or exercise performance results. Its principal function makes it possible to receive real-time feedback on the correct exercise's execution, hence patients can perform guided sessions at home enhancing their adherence to physiotherapy at home and experiencing a successful and fast recovery.
