Summary
Hackaday Supercon attendees Juan Diego Zambrano, Abdelrahman Farag and Ivan Hernandez have created a device that uses games to help improve rehabilitation for children.
The team selected wearable device hardware and developed it with software and sensors that monitor patient performance in three dimensions, collecting data for analysis.
The immersive device motivates children to complete therapy tasks by making them more interactive and easier to engage with, with graphics and gameplay.
Data is fed back to a Windows application for analysis and monitoring for therapists, called Immersive Motion Rehabilitation, which also produces patient reports and includes a connection assistant called Sharky.
The immersive device aims to increase rehabilitation process engagement and help therapists to more efficiently monitor patients.
