Description
Elderly, stroke patients, and disabled people often need to visit hospitals or rehabilitation centres once or twice per week for physiotherapy. However, since they do not have professional therapists at home to guide and assist them to do proper stretching or physical trainings, it would be hard for the patients to maintain therapeutic effects. Curehab provide an intelligent platform for patients to remotely communicate with therapists and to continue daily training at home which is assigned by their therapists. Patients can benefit from extra physiotherapy at home even if they have difficulty travelling to the clinic. The daily training can be tailor-made to suit the needs of the patient. The Curehab system is simply a small control box with camera which can be easily fit into the patient's living room under the TV set. We have developed a smart biomechanical algorithm to monitor and to assess the therapeutic progress of the patient accurately. We can partner with rehabilitation centres to provide them with our Curehab systems by rent; patients can also purchase our system through their therapists. In addition to the system maintenance and update services, we offer cloud database service for therapists to keep track of patient's therapeutic progress.
