How we helped?
Azilen augmented the platform development with virtual diagnostics, VR devices integration, Neurotherapy simulation games. From tech solution to implementation Azilen supported enhancements & innovations to the platform in tracking the motor and Cognition recovery lifecycle of patients.
The Solution
The aim of the solution is to provide a digital system capable of Assessments and Monitoring of cognitive functions and provide ease of adoption for both patients and caregivers.
1. Patients
Digitally simulated Neuro-animation games as a part of their regular rehabilitation exercise to monitor & restore Motion skills and cardiovascular exercise in chronic stroke and neuro-degeneration patients. This helps improve Quality of movement and Hand dexterity.
➡️ Customized games with varied levels of challenges and titrations coupled with immersive and enjoyable emotional experience including sound, sight and vision to keep patients hooked and motivated.
➡️ Self-Service: Patients have complete ownership and transparency of their therapy programmer managing and tracking their goals and achievements.
2. Care Givers
Real-time monitoring and feedback on the motion analysis of patients, neural improvements and drill-down reporting to assess Neuro-Restoration.
➡️ Motion Dynamics: Physics Engine: tracking and calibrating the virtual gaming experience into clinical evidence for rehabilitation status.
➡️ Clinically validated Assessment Tests: To assess multi-dimensional motion and cognition.
➡️ Remote Controller App: Caregivers can easily monitor and assess the course of treatment, interact with patients through audio, video consultations and guide patients through the journey.
The COVID-19 pandemic has expedited the development of remote healthcare technologies, allowing patients to manage their diseases from the comfort of their own homes.
Remote monitoring could improve neuroscience, where brain monitoring devices have the potential to change clinical research and patient monitoring.
Remote neuroscience gadget control could enable healthcare practitioners to monitor patients’ brain activity in real-time without requiring in-person visits.
1. Identify Areas of therapy – Communication with Caregivers
➡️ Identify the areas of neurorehabilitation – Body Parts and movements.
➡️ Defining the target audience criteria – Age, Geography, language
2. Define Gamification Concepts
➡️ Define specific game concepts for specific Neurotherapy – Hands, Back, Legs
➡️ Created 17 different game concepts.
3. Analyse Movements – Body & Hand
➡️ Use Microsoft Kinect v2 to track full-body movements through a combination of depth sensors, infrared cameras, and a microphone.
➡️ Use Leap Motion Controller for hand and finger tracking.
4. Device Setup and Analysis
➡️ Two different devices for patients- For hospital setup and home practice
➡️ Caregivers can decide levels and Duration for patients.
➡️ Backend system that enables the Unity 3D application to analyze data.
5. Patient Engagement
➡️ Bigger Fonts and Voice Enable Instruction for easy interaction
➡️ Notify in case of incorrect posture
➡️ Real-time feedback on the quality of movement
➡️ Engage with device through Voice Commands
➡️ Customizable for each individual’s needs
➡️ Level of ownership over treatment through Intuitive Results and Rewards for Game Progression
➡️ Live video sessions with healthcare professionals in case needed
➡️ Battery Powered device allowing hours of untethered use
6. Care Givers Engagement
➡️ Develop a remote-control tablet application as an interface to communicate with the multi-model platform device and have remote control over it.
➡️ The tablet app enables the therapist to plan the exercise schedule, difficulty, and time slot for each patient.
➡️ Evaluate weekly performance for each patient.
➡️ Notify Caregivers through an automated push notification in case of unexpected performance deviation.
The Benefits: A harmonious ecosystem for remote healthcare empowering:
➡️ Caregivers: Real-time visibility and transparency on patient’s neural condition for effective treatment decisions.
➡️ Patient: An immersive and enjoyable experience of neural therapies that elevates their motivation against painful treatments.
