Descripción del proyecto
Fisioterapia virtual para personas mayores
Los trastornos del equilibrio en la población de edad avanzada constituyen un problema mundial que afecta a la calidad de vida. A pesar de los beneficios de la fisioterapia para la estabilidad postural, no existen soluciones de entrenamiento personalizado. Para hacer frente a esta limitación, en el proyecto HOLOBALANCE, financiado con fondos europeos, se pretende desarrollar un sistema avanzado de telerehabilitación del equilibrio. La plataforma utilizará hologramas, juegos de realidad aumentada y sensores fáciles de usar para ofrecer ejercicios personalizados e interacciones en tiempo real. Mediante algoritmos inteligentes se analizarán los datos de las personas, se supervisarán los progresos y, en colaboración con expertos, se ayudará a planificar las actividades a fin de mejorar la motivación y el cumplimiento de la fisioterapia. En general, se espera que la tecnología de HOLOBALANCE mejore el estado físico y cognitivo de las personas mayores.
Objetivo
The overall objective of HOLOBALANCE is to develop and validate a new personalized hologram coach platform for virtual coaching, motivation and empowerment of the ageing population with balance disorders. The coaching part will be realised by holograms and augmented reality games, along with easy to use sensors (smart bracelet, smart glasses, sensorized soles) that can be customized to implement and coach the user with specific, individualized exercises, offering new forms of accessible user interaction. HOLOBALANCE will engage the experts related to the management of people suffering from balance disorders, including physiotherapists, Ear Nose Throat experts (ENTs), neurologists, psychologists, gerontologists, towards developing a multi-stakeholder user centered coaching ecosystem. Suggestions for specific exercises and tasks and an activity plan will be provided by the experts in a daily basis, which will be then refined and updated through autonomous learning algorithms. Three different types of coaching will be provided by the HOLOBALANCE platform: (i) balance physiotherapy (BP), (ii) cognitive training (CT) combined with auditory tasks (iii) multilevel motivation and physical activity (PA) promotion. The platform will consist of a cloud based big data analytics component, with intelligent data mining algorithms, that will assess personalized heterogeneous data (motion capture sensor data, wearable sensor data, physiotherapy exercises movement data, clinical profiles), emotional and behavioural data (through emotional computing and behavioural modeling minimizing attention theft) and provide personalized advice, guidance and follow up for motivation, goal setting, BP, CT and PA. The accuracy in performance of the exercises will be measured objectively in real time, through a set of motion capture and wearable sensors. Experts will monitor the status through a visual analytics expert panel.
