Patient-centered musculoskeletal (msk) care system and associated programs for therapies for different anatomical regions

A method performed by a computer program executing on a computing device, the method comprising:

• receiving, through an interface presented by the computer program, input that is indicative of a command to initiate a session of a musculoskeletal (MSK) therapy program in which an individual is instructed to perform a plurality of exercises so that the individual moves to various positions over an interval of time;
• issuing a plurality of instructions to prompt performance of the plurality of exercises by the individual;
• obtaining, in real time, data that indicates spatial positions of a plurality of anatomical regions of the individual while the individual performs the plurality of exercises;
• for each exercise of the plurality of exercises,
• adjusting, in real time, a visual representation of the plurality of anatomical regions so as to provide visual feedback regarding a performance of that exercise;
• comparing, in real time, the spatial positions to reference spatial positions associated with that exercise to establish whether that exercise was performed properly;
• and
• indicating, in a digital profile associated with the individual, that exercise was completed in response to a determination that the spatial positions sufficiently match the reference spatial positions;
• and
• indicating, in the digital profile associated with the individual, that the session was completed in response to a determination that each exercise of the plurality of exercises has been indicated as completed.

A method that is performed by a mobile application executing on a mobile phone that includes (i) a front-facing camera and (ii) a display mechanism, the method comprising:

• selecting a series of exercises that are to be performed by an individual during a session of a musculoskeletal (MSK) therapy program;
• receiving, through an interface presented on the display mechanism, input that is indicative of a specification of a difficulty level;
• altering the series of exercises based on the difficulty level, so as to create an altered series of exercises that is tailored for the difficulty level;
• storing an indication of the altered series of exercises in a data structure that is associated with the individual;
• and
• monitoring performance of the altered series of exercises by
• (i) establishing, in real time, spatial positions of a plurality of anatomical regions of the individual based on an analysis of data output by one or more sensors, and
• (ii) determining, based on the spatial positions, whether to
• (a) provide feedback to provoke a change in how the individual is performing that exercise, or
• (b) indicate that exercise was successfully completed.
