The overall project is focused on the continued development of proof of technologyintellectual property for home stroke rehabilitation that has already been created; in particularthe concept of patients taking ownership of their rehabilitation and reducing dependence ontheir family and carers. Cynaptic’s objective is to develop a new product based on acombination of off-the-shelf hardware, a virtual gaming environment and proprietarysoftware/algorithms to track upper limb movements and fine manual dexterity withoutmarkers. This aligns with current themes for telehealth and builds on research supporting thatenduring rehabilitation of the upper limbs has significant benefit to Stroke patients.This project is to understand the market dynamics, clinical requirements and likely uptake ofsuch a product. It is envisaged that our product will engage and motivate Stroke patients,empowering them to take ownership of their rehabilitation in a comfortable environment,underlined by research that supports the use of gaming technology to support rehabilitation inolder populations. The system will monitor, record and measure clinically relevant data toinform an overseeing clinician of patient progress against prescribed rehabilitation regimes.The effect of such a product would be to create a perpetual approach to Stoke rehabilitation,improving functionality and quality of life, whilst unencumbering the carers and NHSphysiotherapists from rehabilitation
