Problem
Patients recovering from hand injuries or surgeries often require consistent monitoring of their range of motion and strength to ensure effective rehabilitation. Traditional methods rely on in-person clinic visits with therapists, which can be inconvenient, costly, and limit the frequency of assessments. This can lead to delayed feedback, reduced patient engagement, and potentially suboptimal recovery outcomes.
Solution
DIGITS offers a remote hand rehabilitation platform that allows patients to perform range-of-motion assessments from anywhere using a standard webcam. The platform guides users through a series of movements, capturing video data that is then analyzed to quantify key metrics related to hand function. Patients receive immediate feedback on their progress, while therapists gain access to objective data to track recovery, personalize treatment plans, and intervene remotely when necessary. By providing a convenient and accessible solution for monitoring hand function, DIGITS aims to improve patient engagement, optimize rehabilitation outcomes, and reduce the burden on traditional clinic-based care.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals recovering from hand injuries or surgeries, as well as hand therapists and surgeons seeking remote monitoring solutions for their patients.
