Pheezee is a pocket-size wearable device by startoon labs that can be worn by the patient while doing physiotherapy sessions. The device gives real-time biofeedback of the range of motion and electromyogram (EMG) of the recruited muscle. The device connects wirelessly to an android phone/tablet to display reports. The physiotherapist can see session-wise, week-wise, month-wise, and overall progress reports as and when needed.
Pheezee offers scientific support for the treatment. The therapist uses it both in the clinical setting and at home. Pheezee is appropriate for upper limb, lower limb, and spinal cord evaluations. It is a useful tool for real-time monitoring and tracking of a patient's recovery. It generates reports at the end of each session that can be shared with the patients. You can keep track of all your patients' progress using the pheezee dashboard.
Working –
Pheezee works by measuring a patient’s muscle response to the nerve’s stimulation of the muscle via EMG as well as other metrics like Range of Motion, Repetition counting, etc. Pheezee has an onboard ARM microcontroller and motion sensors for data acquisition and processing in order to measure a range of motion. Pheezee comprises two modules, one worn above the ankle and one below the ankle. The device is wirelessly connected to an Android phone to measure ROM in real time while exercising. For ROM measurement, the device has the lowest count of 1 degree. Twenty healthy subjects were tested for ROM while performing dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. The accuracy of ROM measurements was found to be 96 percent when compared to a traditional CE-certified goniometer and digital goniometer app, Goniometer Records (released by Indian Orthopedic Research Group).
Pheezee provides:
∙ Biofeedback through measuring muscle contractions
∙ Dynamic range of motion measures
∙ Session-wise reports
∙ Incremental recovery data
∙ Prompts when the patient reaches targets
∙ Report generation and sharing with doctors & caretakers
∙ Remote monitoring when the patient is not in rehab
