Multi-Component Design of a Mobile Rehabilitation Application for Remote Monitoring of Patients

This paper a will provide background and research outcomes for student-led multi-University motion capture design project with the FDA Human Device Interaction Lab. spawned from FDA’s interest in studying mobile Apps used to collect information about rehabilitation patient’s function outside of laboratory setting. is particularly important perspective as it allows knowledge be gathered reliability, safety, efficacy such devices, which can later inform human factors guidelines regulatory oversight. While there wide range applications remote monitoring patient function, this focuses specifically on wearables track rehabilitative progress individuals suffering upper or lower limb impairment. These may also assess new assistive technology intended restore augment function. The interdisciplinary student teams applied human-centered principles develop prototype hardware software components rotatable body-worn device holder remotely progress. process are presented along insights further development system components.
