Startup Technology: Physiotherapy could be done at home using virtual reality

#vr #virtualreality #health #healthcare #physiotherapy #3D #technology #startupideas #healthtech

Virtual reality could help physiotherapy patients complete their exercises at home successfully thanks to researchers at WMG, University of Warwick, who managed to combine VR technology with 3-D motion capture.

Currently prescribed physiotherapy often requires patients to complete regular exercises at home. Outside of the clinic, patients rarely receive any guidance other than a leaflet of sketches or static photographs to instruct them how to complete their exercises. This leads to poor adherence, with patients becoming anxious about not getting the exercise right, or simply getting bored by the repetitiveness of the movements.

Key takeaway:

They found that participants struggled to keep in time if only visual information was present. However, when they added realistic footstep sounds in addition to the visual information, the more realistic multisensory information allowed participants to accurately follow the virtual avatar.

1. Payments Technology Is Going Touchless:

We're now likely to see digital wallet solutions grow further, including things like digital IDs, transaction monitoring and even location tracking. We could soon be living in a world where your smartphone could tell you which stores were too crowded or which parts of the mall to avoid.

2. Health Care Is Leveraging Telehealth And IOT For Remote Patient Care:

Telehealth, coupled with wearable data or biosensor technology, will change the health care landscape at a rapid pace. A handful of companies have recently begun development of new ingestible sensors that can be swallowed by patients. These "smart pills" could be used to track gut health or monitor medicine ingestion, and could eventually be mounted with miniscule cameras to help doctors monitor or diagnose a range of conditions.

3. Opti-Channel Services Are Becoming More Crucial:

An opti-channel strategy requires businesses to not only find the best channel to reach each type of customer, but to use that channel to its fullest potential in order to maximize engagement at each and every point along that customer's journey while ensuring continuity of experience and personalization.
