Problem
Traditional methods of monitoring muscle activity during physiotherapy and speech therapy often lack the portability and engagement needed for effective remote tracking and patient compliance. This can lead to difficulties in objectively measuring progress and maintaining patient motivation throughout the rehabilitation process.
Solution
Waves Tech offers EMG One, a portable electromyography (EMG) biofeedback system designed to enhance rehabilitation and medical monitoring. The system consists of a single-channel electromyograph that connects to a smartphone or tablet, providing real-time biofeedback on muscle performance. By visualizing muscle activity through interactive games and a user-friendly interface, patients can actively participate in their therapy, improving engagement and adherence. The system also includes a data server for remote monitoring, allowing therapists to track patient progress and adjust treatment plans as needed.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes physical therapists, kinesiologists, and speech therapists seeking to enhance patient engagement and objectively track progress in rehabilitation settings, as well as patients undergoing muscle rehabilitation for various conditions.
