Abstract
In one illustrative embodiment, a tele-rehabilitation platform allows patients to play and interact with therapists, caregivers, and other patients. The platform includes a set of computer games, a therapist portal, and a knowledgebase for the storage and analysis of therapy outcomes for specific patients, conditions, and therapy regimes.
Claims20
A method of monitoring a patient comprising:
- providing a patient monitoring system comprising an electronic game interface module, a patient management dashboard module, and a patient assessment tool module;
- prescribing a series of exercises with the patient management dashboard module for the patient to perform using a game interface;
- electronically monitoring the patient's performance of the series of prescribed exercises with at least one of a motion capture camera and an accelerometer;
- and
- determining with the patient assessment tool module, based on said electronic monitoring, the patient's compliance with the prescribed series of exercises.
2 more elements
A method of categorizing a patient's performance comprising:
- providing a patient monitoring system comprising an electronic game interface module, a patient management dashboard module, and a patient assessment tool module;
- assessing the patient's physical functioning using the electronic game interface module and determining with the patient assessment tool module at least one physical function dimension based on said assessment;
- assessing the patient's cognitive functioning using the electronic game interface module and determining with the patient assessment tool module at least one cognitive function dimension based on said assessment;
- and
- assessing the patient's motivation using the electronic game interface module and determining with the patient assessment tool module at least one motivation dimension based on said assessment;
- wherein at least one of said assessing steps include prescribing a task for the patient to perform and electronically monitoring the patient's performance of the task with a motion capture camera or accelerometer, wherein the accelerometer is part of an activity monitor.
3 more elements
A system for monitoring patient compliance comprising:
- a display configured to display information relating to a game or exercise for the patient to perform;
- a motion capture camera;
- a compliance module in communication with the display and the motion capture camera, wherein the compliance module is configured to receive one or more games or activities to be performed by the patient;
- wherein the compliance module is configured to determine whether a patient is performing the game or exercise based on a signal received from the motion capture camera;
- and wherein the compliance module is configured to record at least one of a number of repetitions attempted, a number of repetitions completed, a movement made by the patient, and an accuracy of a movement made by the patient.
