  • Publication number: 20170361217
    Abstract: A system provides bi-manual game-based integrative therapy combining cognitive training with mild upper body physical exercising during game play. The system includes a pair of interfaces tracking a user's arms in 3D and detect trigger pressing. Custom therapeutic game controllers that detect grasping force, finger extension, 3D hand position, skin temperature and pulse may be used. Using one of these interfaces the patient plays a series of custom games displayed on a laptop, medical grade workstation, or other computer platform. The whole therapeutic system may be integrated on a medical cart, so to make the system mobile and easier to place in a clinical setting. Games were designed to improve motor control, shoulder strength, finger and arm range of motion, task sequencing, focusing, decision making (executive function), short term and long term visual/auditory memory, and were progressed in difficulty over 6 to 8 weeks of therapy. This therapy reduces depression.

  • Patent number: 9724598
    Abstract: Virtual rehabilitation serious games have gained increasing clinical acceptance in the therapy of large patient populations (stroke and traumatic brain injury). This is due to their ability to motivate the patient, as well as intrinsic large number of movement repetitions they generate. These repetitions are key to inducing brain plasticity and facilitating patient recovery. Unfortunately, bi-manual therapy, while potentially more efficacious, is less developed at this time. We present a novel system and method, for bi-manual game-based integrative therapy that combines physical and cognitive training in integrative game play sessions. It is built around the new Razer Hydra Game interface that track's the patient's arms in 3D and detects trigger pressing. A series of custom games designed to improve focusing, decision making (executive function), short term and long term memory, are played with progressive difficulty.

  • Patent number: 9522316
    Abstract: A modular, instrumented rehabilitation table and method of rehabilitation are disclosed. The table top can have a low friction top, a high friction bottom, a hollow section and no legs. An electronic controller is embedded in the hollow section of the table top. A first tilt sensor is embedded in the hollow section of the table top so as to sense tilt on a first axis. A second tilt sensor is embedded in the hollow section of the table top so as to sense tilt on a second axis. A tracking circuit, which can include a plurality of sensors arranged in a matrix format is provided. These can be embedded in the hollow section of the table top or can be atop the top surface of the table. A power supply embedded in the hollow section of the table top is provided. A communication circuit attached to the table top and electrically connected to the electronic controller is provided.

  • Patent number: 9028258
    Abstract: The present invention provides method and apparatus to perform combined cognitive and motor rehabilitation on a computerized non-portable system or on single portable device. A patient can play a variety of games that require the patient to perform a variety of memory exercises which involve physical exertion. The activities of the patient are monitored with pattern analysis software which provides feedback to the patient. The feedback can include voice synthesis, video guidance, progression messages etc. Patient data obtained while the patient is performing each of the memory exercises is stored locally on a database module and then uploaded to a cloud server. A remote psychologist/psychiatrist monitors the patient by logging into the same cloud, and updating cognition exercises. The same therapist can have live chats with the patient for further interaction and coaching.

  • Publication number: 20110307268
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for monitoring effectiveness and safety of a drug treatment program on a patient. The system includes a computer and a control box connected to the computer. The control box can have one or more interfaces for the patient including bio-signal measuring ones. It can also provide multiple interfaces for the patient. The system also includes a drug dispenser connected to the computer. The drug dispenser can be connected through the control box or directly to the computer. The drug dispenser records a time and a dosage of a drug taken by the patient and the computer executes game software that allows the patient to play a game, the game being based on input to the control box provided by the patient. The computer can be connected to a server that controls overall operation of the system. Server received further input from authorized physicians, drug company researchers or drug safety monitoring specialists of government agencies.
