2024: Next Generation Medical Rehabilitation System Announcement

On October 29, 2024, representatives of MIPT announced the development of a next generation medical rehabilitation system.

As reported, specialized software is able to determine the patient's movements, recognize errors in the performance of exercises and adjust them, adapt the load, as well as collect and transmit patient data to a doctor of restorative medicine.

Example of the motion capture algorithm used in the prototype

According to WHO statistics, about 2.4 billion people in the world suffer from pathological conditions in which rehabilitation can be shown. This is not only about cases when specialized support is necessary after injury or surgery, as well as due to an age-related decrease in the functional capabilities of the human body and the burden of chronic diseases.

As for the demand for medical rehabilitation services in Russia, it is also high. However, this type of medical services is not available to everyone, says Andrei Berezovsky, project manager for the creation of a remote rehabilitation system, master's student of the FBMF MIPT.

There are not enough specialists in the rehabilitation centers of the country. The situation is also complicated by the fact that specialized medical centers are located far from the place of residence of many patients. In these conditions, it is especially important to create rehabilitation systems that would not be tied to a place on the map. Our team is developing a remote rehabilitation system. Its main possibility is the lack of specialized motion capture sensors, which allows rehabilitation at home.

The developers have provided the following scenario for using the online medical rehabilitation system. The patient installs the app computer on/and phone creates their account. After that, in the list of specialists, he chooses his rehabilitation doctor. After confirming the identity, access to the list of exercises that the doctor individually assigned to him for rehabilitation, taking into account the peculiarities of this clinical case, is opened. The patient begins to perform them, and the system corrects them in real time, reporting errors. Training data and statistics obtained are visible to both the patient himself and his doctor.

Remote Rehabilitation System Program Code

To implement the project taking into account medical specifics, developers from MIPT teamed up with representatives of leading institutions. health care countries The technical team is advised by Olga Laisheva, head of the medical rehabilitation center of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital, as well as Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor RNIMU named after N.I. Pirogov Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Ivan Gordeev.

It is assumed that the remote rehabilitation system will be able to unload the doctor from controlling the correctness of the exercise - this task will be taken over by the digital system. At the same time, the set of exercises, the number of their performance and further rehabilitation tactics will be determined by a specialist. The developers note that the online system can completely replace the doctor only in the late stages of rehabilitation, when the patient simply needs regular physical activity.

The system tracks the load functionality by checkpoints compared to the reference exercise. At the same time, if we are talking about restoring the volume of movement, the system will take into account the progress of the patient (for example, a gradual increase in the depth of the squat in the exercise). The system transmits the video data stream to the server, where it is processed and the feedback is generated according to the correct execution, which is sent back to the patient.

The project to create a remote medical rehabilitation system won the Student Startup competition based on MIPT and received funding in the amount of 1 million rubles from the federal Innovation Assistance Fund. Over the next 6 months, developers will prepare a prototype rehabilitation system for testing.
