Detailed Description of the Invention
This invention introduces a novel mobile application that is intended to improve the process of cardiac rehabilitation for heart patients. The application not only provides personalized exercise plans but also uses real-time feedback to ensure that patients are performing the exercises correctly, thereby reducing the risk of injury and improving the rehabilitation outcome. With its easy-to-use interface and advanced features, the app makes cardiac rehabilitation accessible, safe, and effective, all from the comfort of the patient's home.
The application captures diverse information on a patient's health, including all aspects of personal health data. It does so in order to ensure the rehabilitation process is designed specifically to address the individual's needs. Information ranges from the age and BMI, gender, and history of surgeries performed in the past to the present diagnosis, resting heart rate, and blood pressure. All these will be considered to produce an exercise program specifically for the patient's overall health and medical history. With this, it becomes sure that the exercise routine undertaken by the patient is suitable to the condition and will not make the patient exhaust or perform wrong exercises.
What makes this product stand out is the integration of Google's Pose Detection API into the system that helps monitor the patient's posture while exercising. Once an exercise is conducted, the algorithm from pose detection follows all movement from head and limbs through torso for better control and observation during workout by a patient, as well as warning if wrong postures are noticed while doing a specific exercise. For instance, if the patient is performing a squat but not aligning his or her knees correctly, the application will encourage adjustment to posture to ensure that the exercise is made safely and effectively done.
The application also keeps monitoring the patient's vital signs, for example, the heart rate and the blood pressure, to change the exercise plan. Being a rule-based algorithm, the application will change the intensity and the time for every exercise to align with the physical state of the patient. The intensity can be decreased by changing the exercises; for instance, if the patient's heart rate goes too high or the patient's blood pressure falls out of the safe limits, the app will reduce the intensity of exercises, advise some rest, or alter the exercise so that they become safer to do. All of these adjustments ensure that the rehabilitation of the patient is always in consonance with their current health state to bring them optimal recovery and the minimum risk of complications.
What makes the app even more unique is that it does all this on a mobile platform, meaning that patients can use it wherever they are - whether at home or on the go. This flexibility eliminates the need for constant in-person appointments or specialized equipment, making cardiac rehabilitation more accessible, especially for those who may have mobility issues, live in remote areas, or find it difficult to visit a clinic regularly. Patients can follow their personalized exercise routine at their own pace and time, with constant guidance and feedback available at the touch of a button.
The app allows the patients to trace their development overtime. This records information related to their history in exercising, their posture, and their general signs. Not only does it encourage patients on their progress made, but this helps the care givers follow them up online as well. If the data collected by the app is needed, healthcare providers can modify the rehabilitation plan to provide a more personalized and responsive approach to cardiac care.
In summary, this invention provides a comprehensive solution for cardiac rehabilitation that combines personalized exercise plans, real-time posture correction, and continuous health monitoring, all within a mobile app. Using Google's Pose Detection API, the system will ensure the proper execution of exercises by the patients, while the rule-based algorithm will alter the exercise program based on the individual health data. This method of cardiac rehabilitation makes it safer, more effective, and more accessible to a broader population, thereby supporting them in their journey towards recovery from the comfort of their own homes.
