  • Publication number: 20170323080
    Abstract: A video game in possession of and/or in the proximity of a patient. The patient computing system receives an indication that it is to begin a game, and executes the game using identified game parameters that are associated with the patient by a clinician as part of a disease therapy program. As the game executes, game state progresses in response to physical activity of the patient, causing the patient to exercise. The physical activity is received as input into the patient computing system. Such input causes game state to be progressed dependent on the identified game parameters that are associated with the game. Thus, the game is tailored for the patient by a clinician in order to motivate physical activity that is medically beneficial to the patient in order to advance through the disease therapy program.

  • Patent number: 9204671
    Abstract: A garment, such as a shirt, adapted to be worn on the upper body of a user includes a pair of adjacent front panels. Each panel terminates in an edge area and defines an upper neck area positioned in front of the neck of the user when the garment is worn. A closed passage is provided in each front panel adjacent the edge area of the front panel, and extends downwardly from the upper edge area of the front panel. A stiffener member is contained within each passage, and extends into the upper neck area of the front panel and downwardly therefrom within the closed passage so as not to be removable from within the passage. The stiffener members are configured and arranged so as to maintain the upper neck areas of the adjacent front panels apart from each other when the garment is worn.
