Abstract:

We have developed an approach that presents patients with an intelligible, user-friendly yet correct visualisation to check progress and verify adherence to the prescribed physical exercise program. Integrated in a comprehensive, mobile self-monitoring app, this patient-centric approach facilitates keeping patients motivated and engaged while rehabilitating remotely.
