Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a medical evaluation system that can be easily used by a single person at home without the aid of another person. The system includes a spatial map that shows the subject's movement with a color scheme, a voice recognition process, and a flexible band for attaching a sensor or smartphone to the subject's limb or body portion. The system can help the caregiver understand the subject's pain points and provide real-time data about the subject's range of motion and the pain description, which will help improve the treatment and exercise decision-making process for the subject.

Problems solved by technology

In the care of the elderly, it is difficult to accurately access a person's condition.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]A range of motion tracking system is described. In one example embodiment, the range of motion tracking system is implemented with an application running on a smartphone. However, an actual smartphone is not strictly required, as would be apparent to one skilled in the art: In the alternative, a device comprising sufficient communication and processing capabilities able to execute methods for conveying instructions for an exercise to the user (e.g., by display or audio output), detecting and analyzing a subject's movements in the context of the exercise, and recording indication of pain level of the subject in conjunction with recording the range of motion, and communicating those records of range of motion and pain level to the caregiver.

[0008]The invention provides an evaluation system that engages subjects, e.g., the elderly and those requiring physical therapy, and encourages them to make specific movements or a series of movements, with the movements being measured by mot...

Abstract

A method for range of motion (ROM) tracking, that determines with a ROM tracking system, an exercise identified by a caregiver to be performed by a subject by positioning a sensor of the ROM tracking system to allow the sensor to detect at least one movement by the subject during a performance of the exercise, and then detecting, through the sensor, at least one movement of the subject. The system further analyzes the movement by the subject to determine a range of motion of the at least one movement; recording through a user interface an indication by the subject of an experiential narrative; and finally, providing a report to the caregiver, where the report contains the results of at least one movement in conjunction with at least a portion of the experiential narrative.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 537,777 filed Jul. 27, 2017. It is also related to applications Ser. No. 15 / 284,157, Ser. No. 14 / 149,158 and 61 / 750,390. Applications 62 / 537,777, Ser. No. 15 / 284,157, Ser. No. 14 / 149,158 and 61 / 750,390 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to systems that allows a caregiver to monitor a patient and more particularly to a range of motion tracking system.Description of the Problem Solved[0003]In the care of the elderly, it is difficult to accurately access a person's condition. It would be very advantageous to have an automated system that could accurately access and record a person's condition and range of motion.Definitions[0004]A “subject” is any person using the application of the present invention. A subject could be a patient, a customer, or client who is seeking an exercise program.[0005]A “caregiver” is an...
