The aging population faces significant challenges in maintaining fine motor skills, which are crucial for daily activities and overall well-being. In response to this pressing issue, we created a comprehensive e-Health solution designed to assess and improve the fine motor skills of elderly individuals through engaging games and real-time feedback. This project not only aims to detect early signs of motor skill deterioration but also empowers users by fostering their independence.

01. CHALLENGE

Increasing incidence of fine motor skill deterioration among the elderly, leading to decreased autonomy and quality of life.

Difficulty for seniors, particularly those in rural areas, in accessing regular healthcare evaluations.

Lack of engaging tools to track and improve motor skills, contributing to feelings of fear and low self-esteem among users.

02. SOLUTION

Development of the e-Health App and Smart Glove: Worked on the design modification of a commercialized glove (Nansense Gloves) embedded with 22 stretch sensors to accurately monitor hand movements, grip strength, and detect tremors. Created an intuitive app that allows users to engage in fun and therapeutic games aimed at improving fine motor skills while tracking their progress.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis: Implemented a systematic evaluation process to gather data on users' fine motor skills through the glove and app, providing valuable insights for health professionals. Enabled remote feedback from doctors, allowing for personalized health plans based on real-time data.

User Empowerment and Intervention: Developed a variety of interactive games that encourage physical engagement, enhancing both cognitive and motor skills. Created an action plan within the app that promotes regular practice, leading to measurable improvements in fine motor skills over time

03. RESULTS

There are several anticipated developments that have not yet been realized:

Expansion of the app's capabilities to include a wider range of exercises and activities tailored to individual needs, enhancing the personalization of the intervention.
Development of features to enable community engagement, allowing users to connect with peers for motivation and support.
Integration with wearable technology for continuous monitoring and reporting, providing a more holistic view of the user's health over time.
Exploration of partnerships with healthcare providers to facilitate broader implementation and accessibility for elderly individuals across various settings.
