Descrizione del progetto
Fisioterapia virtuale per gli anziani
I disturbi dell’equilibrio che colpiscono la popolazione anziana costituiscono un problema a livello globale, con ripercussioni sulla qualità della vita. Nonostante i benefici offerti dalla fisioterapia sulla stabilità posturale, non esistono soluzioni di coaching personalizzate. Per ovviare a questa limitazione, il progetto HOLOBALANCE, finanziato dall’UE, mira a sviluppare un sistema avanzato di teleriabilitazione dell’equilibrio. La piattaforma impiegherà ologrammi, giochi di realtà aumentata e sensori di facile utilizzo per offrire esercizi personalizzati e interazioni in tempo reale. Algoritmi intelligenti analizzeranno i dati degli individui interessati, ne monitoreranno i progressi e, in collaborazione con gli esperti, forniranno assistenza nella pianificazione delle attività per aumentare la motivazione e incrementare il rispetto degli interventi fisioterapici. Nel complesso, la soluzione di HOLOBALANCE dovrebbe migliorare lo stato fisico e cognitivo degli anziani.
Obiettivo
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.
