Final Interface Design

How might we democratize physical therapy and enhance patient agency using spatial computing technologies?

Why Physical Therapy?

Access to consistent treatment proves to be a major hurdle in disability treatment

Access to consistent treatment proves to be a major hurdle in disability treatment

About

6 to 10 Adults

live with a chronic disease in the U.S

About

47% of Adults

with disabilities get no physical activity at all

An Estimated

$145 Billion

in global healthcare costs due to inactivity

The Problem

Without real-time feedback, at-home adherence of physical therapy treatments diminish reducing motivation and patient accountability.

Patients experience a 20% drop rate in their treatment plans
