Accessible Balance and Falls Prevention Exercise Tool Across the Continuum of Car

描述（由申请人提供）：目的：第一阶段SBIR建议优化基于证据的跌倒预防计划的数字翻译的界面和交互，以便在整个护理和社区生活中使用，为所有利益相关者（包括技术经验有限的利益相关者）提供易于采用、遵守和监测的跌倒预防练习。目的：具体而言，本提案描述了我们计划如何获得利益相关者所需的输入，以a)设计一个可访问的练习界面，供客户、临床医生、护理人员和支持人员在所有级别的独立性和护理协助中使用，以及b)设计一个可访问的WebApp，用于选择、跟踪和报告所有利益相关者使用的练习遵守情况。第二阶段将侧重于执行第一阶段的发现，并确定商业化的途径。方法：我们将采用跨学科、以用户为中心、敏捷的游戏设计方法来开发“Zoezi Park”，并确保我们在连续的护理和社区设置中满足利益相关者的需求。Blue Marble已经创建了“Zoezi Park”，这是一个基于证据和CDC支持的Otago1-11 （SBIR 1R43AG040873-01）和Tai Chi12-47 （1R43AG043191- 01A1）运动项目的原型数字翻译，使用基于手势的数字运动体验来简化传播并增加65岁以上人群对预防跌倒运动的坚持。缺乏的是一个设计良好的产品，可以跨越所有的层次

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Objective: This Phase 1 SBIR proposes to optimize the interface and interaction of a digital translation of Evidence Based Falls Prevention programs for use across the continuum of care and community living that affords easy adoption, adherence and monitoring of falls prevention exercises for all stakeholders including those with limited technical experience. Purpose: Specifically, this proposal describes how we plan to obtain the stakeholder input required to a) design an accessible exercise interface that will be used by clients, clinicians, caregivers and support staff across all levels of independence and care assistance, and b) design an accessible WebApp for selecting, tracking and reporting adherence to the exercises for use by all stakeholders. Phase II will focus on execution of the findings initiated in this Phase I and to ascertain a path to commercialization. Approach: We will employ our trans-disciplinary, user-centered, agile game design approach to develop "Zoezi Park" and to ensure we meet the needs of the stakeholders across the continuum of care and community settings. Blue Marble has already created "Zoezi Park", a prototype digital translation of the evidence-based and CDC supported Otago1-11 (SBIR 1R43AG040873-01) and Tai Chi12-47 (1R43AG043191- 01A1) exercise programs using a gesture based digital exercise experience to ease dissemination and increase adherence to falls prevention exercises for folks over the age of 65. What is lacking is a well-designed product that crosses all levels of care and independence. Essential to this product is a) a user interface that enables easy navigation by those with limited technological expertise, b) a clinician exercise configuration tool, c) a back end data capture system and d) a web app for viewing and reporting outcomes across levels of care. The challenge we face is designing a product that accommodates the needs of all stakeholders including people over 65 with varying levels of falls risk, clinicians (physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, physicians), fitness trainers, technicians, and caregivers. While the heart of the program is the exercises, a user interface that creatively addresses the needs of all stakeholders is essential for commercialization. Specific Aims: We will use standard product testing methodology, such as focus groups, card-sorting, play-testing, user acceptance testing and feasibility testing throughout the process. The stakeholders will interact with the vertical slice prototype "Zoezi Park v1.0". As users interact with the product, their movements will be tracked with the Kinect(R) sensor, an innovative 3D gesture capture sensor that accurately identifies recognizes and tracks a user's physical movements. The testers will provide feedback regarding requirements unique to their level of technological experience, environment and level of care. "Zoezi Park" mediates many of the current barriers to dissemination of evidence based falls prevention programs. Finally, this product is relevant to the CDC initiatives because it is a digital translation of CDC supported falls prevention exercise programs and advances the availability of products and health practices for older adults". Deliverable: Zoezi Park v1.1 and a Phase 2 application.
