Award-winning XR rehabilitation platform developed with Northeastern University, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard. Transforms physical therapy through immersive virtual environments that adapt to patient needs in real-time.
Technical Implementation
Core Systems:
- Adaptive Difficulty Engine: Real-time performance analysis dynamically adjusts exercise intensity based on patient biometrics and motion data
- Full-body IK Tracking: Custom inverse kinematics system validates therapeutic movements with clinical accuracy
- Therapist Dashboard: Remote monitoring interface with live progress visualization and program adjustment capabilities
- Data Pipeline: HIPAA-compliant analytics infrastructure processing motion capture and therapeutic assessment metrics
Key Achievements:
- Maintained 90fps performance for extended sessions with optimized rendering pipeline
- Integrated ArcGIS photospheres for location-based therapeutic environments
- Built cloud-synchronized progress tracking across devices
- Implemented accessibility features supporting diverse mobility levels
Impact & Results
- Clinical Deployment: Successfully implemented in rehabilitation centers for patient trials
- Improved Outcomes: Increased patient engagement and exercise consistency, reducing average recovery time
- Pandemic Response: Enabled remote therapy sessions when in-person care was unavailable
- Data Generation: Produced valuable motion datasets for therapeutic research and assessment
Technical Challenges
Multi-level Accessibility: Built configurable exercise system with granular difficulty adjustments to accommodate post-stroke patients, joint injuries, and varying mobility ranges.
Therapeutic Accuracy: Implemented multi-sensor calibration with validation algorithms and therapist override to ensure clinically accurate motion tracking.
Long-term Engagement: Designed gamification system with progressive achievements and immersive virtual destinations (forests, beaches, mountains) where the environment lights up with patient progress.
Healthcare Compliance: Architected end-to-end HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with encrypted storage, secure transmission, and comprehensive audit logging.
