Smart Sensors and Tailored Environments for Physiotherapy
Description

 Information System (IS) offers much promise to improve information management for physiotherapists. However, the key factor for success of healthcare information system implementation and adoption is engagement of end-user. TailorPhy project aims to develop, apply and evaluate a system of information whose configuration can be tailored to measure the patient’s balance and functional movements during their physiotherapy sessions. The tailored information system, proposed in this project, enable to non-invasively/unobtrusively measure balance and movements as well as to improve the effectiveness of physiotherapy based on serious game and augmented reality. 

     Wireless body sensor network (WSN) will be developed for better balance and movements’ characterization. The system may improve the effectiveness of physiotherapy and enable measuring additional constructs to enhance more comprehensive clinical reasoning processes (i.e., motor control, determinants for behavioral change and patient engagement).
