We were motivated to build this project by the increasing discompforatablility of therapist and doctors of not able to treat their patients because of the current locdown and COVID-19 safety measures.
Thousands of children undergoing issue after accidents, brain surgery, parkinson's disease , etc.. are stranded with no help to continue their recovery exercises.
It is not easy to treat children or teens the same way like treating an adult as extensive care and guidance is a necessity. The therapist needs to sit together and instruct the children on how to work on the exercises properly so that children can get a better recovery.
After some research we found that gaming are the most effective way of improving children and teens recovery as it makes the process fun and enjoyable. Thus, we build a gaming system in which children can place our IOT devices on their wrists.
They are guided through different level by instructions which we integrated using EchoAR, which makes them more enthusiastic towards getting good score which directly helps them improve their tremors. We guide them through instructions before each level and they have option to educate themself with level menu, this can help our child improve consciousness towards how to work on their therapy in the best way. Such systems are lacking a lot in current medical industry.
Another issue for therapists now is keeping track of children progress. So whenever our children play games, we get the hand movement data from the iot devices and also from the gaming software. This is send to the therapist mobile by building an mobile application exclusively to keep track of the patients and get detailed analysis regarding the progress of each patients.
This gives the therapist to remotely monitor children, track progress and take better decesions in future.
The data we collect can also be used to build a better healthcare systems later in future for the way therapies are performed and transform medical industry.
