Method and System for Using Artificial Intelligence to Adjust Pedal Resistance
A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of one or more pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive one or more measurements as input, and outputting, based on the one or more measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify the resistance of the one or more pedals. The method includes receiving the one or more measurements from a sensor associated with the one or more pedals of the exercise device, determining whether the one or more measurements satisfy a trigger condition, and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements satisfy the trigger condition, transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device.
Method for reducing the harmful effects of physical inactivity, for initiating activity, and respective device
The problem of inactivity can occur at any area of our lives. Inactive periods can originate from being at hospital, rehabilitation, from physical condition, even during daily routine, or at leisure time. Several medical research discuses the irreparable harm of regular inactivity. The method and respective device according to the invention urges the person from harmful inactivity to activity, by signaling and measuring device, or by flexible displacing device. The signaling and measuring device or the flexible displacing device are coupled onto objects used in our daily life, thus activity can happen in our daily routine, at places where we at regularly. Activity happens by applying muscle force with controlled size, length of time and number of repetitions. Signaling and measuring device or flexible displacing device according to the method are coupled to other objects, such as bed or table. Signal initiates activity, sensors measure the engagement of proper muscle force and the signal is turned off accordingly. Similarly, flexible displacing device coupled to other objects is used to displace the inactive person in a controlled manner, by applying flexible force with controlled size over controlled length of time in retainable, stoppable form. The method and respective devices can be implemented at many possible circumstances, for example in healthcare institutions.
Support with height and width adjustability
A support and a support system enable assisting rehabilitation patients with walking and standing. The support includes a supporting structure with a longitudinal axis, the supporting structure having an upper structure and a lower structure; a height adjusting actuator configured to adjust a vertical distance between the upper structure and the lower structure; and a width adjusting actuator connected to the support structure, wherein the width adjusting actuator is configured to move at least part of the supporting structure in a transverse direction to the longitudinal axis.
TREADMILL ARRANGEMENT WITH MOTION-ADAPTIVE VIRTUAL RUNNING ENVIRONMENT
A treadmill arrangement, having a treadmill stand and an endless belt which runs over rollers mounted in the treadmill stand and is driven by a drive, with one surface of the endless belt serving as a walking or running surface. A motion state detection device is allocated to the treadmill to detect a motion state or a positional change of the legs and/or feet of the user relative to the treadmill stand and to obtain a control signal for the drive.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TELEMEDICINE-ENABLED HARDWARE TO OPTIMIZE REHABILITATIVE ROUTINES CAPABLE OF ENABLING REMOTE REHABILITATIVE COMPLIANCE
A computer-implemented system comprising a treatment apparatus, a patient interface, and a processing device is disclosed. The processing device is configured to receive treatment data pertaining to the user during the telemedicine session, wherein the treatment data comprises one or more characteristics of the user; determine, via one or more trained machine learning models, at least one respective measure of benefit one or more exercise regimens provide the user, wherein the determining the respective measure of benefit is based on the treatment data; determine, via the one or more trained machine learning models, one or more probabilities of the user complying with the one or more exercise regimens; and transmit the treatment plan to a computing device, wherein the treatment plan is generated based on the one or more probabilities and the respective measure of benefit the one or more exercise regimens provide the user.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE OF TELEMEDICINE-ENABLED REHABILITATIVE HARDWARE AND FOR ENCOURAGING REHABILITATIVE COMPLIANCE THROUGH PATIENT-BASED VIRTUAL SHARED SESSIONS WITH PATIENT-ENABLED MUTUAL ENCOURAGEMENT ACROSS SIMULATED SOCIAL NETWORKS
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented system includes a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by a user while performing an exercise session, patient interfaces associated with users, and a server computing device configured to receive treatment data pertaining to the user, determine whether at least one characteristic of the user matches at least one second characteristic of a second user, where the second user belonging to a cohort. Responsive to determining the at least one characteristic of the user matches the at least one second characteristic of the second user, the server computing device is configured to assign the user to the cohort and select, via a trained machine learning model, a treatment plan for the user. Responsive to transmitting a signal to the patient interfaces of users in the cohort, the server computing device enables the patient interfaces to establish the virtual shared session between the patient interfaces.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING DYNAMIC TREATMENT ENVIRONMENTS BASED ON PATIENT INFORMATION
A system that comprises a memory device storing instructions, and a processing device communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device executes the instructions to: receive user data obtained from records associated with a user; generate a modified treatment plan based on the user data; and send, to a treatment apparatus accessible to the user, the modified treatment plan, wherein the modified treatment plan causes the treatment apparatus to update at least one operational aspect of the treatment apparatus, and update at least one operational aspect of at least one other device communicatively coupled to the treatment apparatus.
Leg rehabilitation exercise apparatus
