A connect-health Virtual Reality(VR) stroke physiotherapy technology to improve care delivery and save healthcare costs

中风患者的康复是现代面临的最大医疗挑战之一。在全球范围内，中风是第二大残疾原因，每年新发中风1500万例，目前还有8000万人患有中风。医疗保健组织在经济上很难在中风患者出院回家时为他们提供最佳水平的护理。这种在家中缺乏康复护理导致中风患者很少或根本不进行物理治疗，从而对恢复产生负面影响。上肢运动功能障碍是导致全球75%中风患者残疾的主要原因。中风是全球医疗机构的巨大经济负担，我们相信我们的解决方案可以通过提供技术支持的经济高效解决方案来帮助减轻这一负担，该解决方案可以降低物理治疗成本，降低住院费用和再入院费用，并使患者更快地重返工作岗位。我们的解决方案作为一种创新的互联网络，健康物理治疗设备，在虚拟现实（VR）中为家庭物理治疗提供个性化的上肢中风物理治疗。基于网络的患者管理仪表板补充了VR系统，因此物理治疗师可以远程监控和管理他们的患者。VR和基于Web的仪表板之间的内置通信工具为中风患者和物理治疗师之间提供了更高水平的沟通和支持。这种独特的创新为在家的患者提供了更好的护理，并帮助物理治疗师比以前更有效地工作。

The rehabilitation of stroke patients is one of the biggest healthcare challenges faced in modern times. Globally Stroke is the 2nd leading cause of disability, with 15 million new strokes per year and a further 80 million people currently living with a stroke. Healthcare organisations struggle financially to provide the optimum level of care to stroke patients when they are discharged home. This lack of rehabilitation care at home leads to stroke patients performing little or no physiotherapy, which thus negatively affects recovery. Upper limb motor dysfunction is the leading cause of disability affecting 75% in stroke patients globally.Stroke is a huge economic burden on healthcare organisations worldwide and we believe that our solution can help ease that burden by providing a technology-enabled cost-effective solution that can reduce physiotherapy costs, reduce hospital stay cost and readmission costs and return patients to work sooner.Our solution to this growing problem as an innovative connected-health physiotherapy device that provides personalised upper limb stroke physiotherapy within Virtual Reality (VR) for home-based physiotherapy. A web-based patient management dashboard supplements the VR system, so physiotherapists can remotely monitor and manage their patients. Built-in communication tools between the VR and the Web-based dashboard provide a higher level of communication and support between stroke patients and physiotherapists. This unique innovation provides enhanced care to patients at home and helps physiotherapists operate more efficiently than what has been possible before.
