Title:
Vision-based monitoring systems for in-home rehabilitation
Agreement Value:
$120,230.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
The project aims to develop and validate an in-home rehabilitation system which can guide the elderly person through a set of optimized and individualized exercises after a total joint replacement surgery, as well as to monitor for potential serious postoperative complications, such as infections and deep vein thrombosis. To ensure ease-of-use and userfriendly installation, the Project will investigate remote (not attached to the human) and cost-effective sensors technologies, such as 2D and 3D cameras, as well as thermographic cameras for this purpose. Furthermore, algorithms will be developed to detect robustly whole body motions, as well as small joint motions of the elderly user. These information can be used to provide feedback to the user in real-time to ensure the exercises are performed correctly and to the full potential. Furthermore, the newly developed methods will be tested in a preliminary clinical study and compared to state-of-the-art motions tracking methods to ensure practicality, robustness, and accuracy.
