Project information

Details of proposed idea/innovation (will be kept confidential): Annex

The proposed solution is a Digital Monitoring kit for limb physiotherapy rehab that will
help the patients with the movement of the limbs and help them to measure the
improvements in their motor skills. The physiotherapy will be gamified and the users will
be required to move their limbs after wearing a wearable sensing unit which will be in the
form of gloves, rings, etc.
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) has become one of the leading cause of disability in most
countries. People affected by CVA are treated with Physical therapy (Physiotherapy) help
the patients to relearn the motor movements for controlling the limbs and other parts of
their body. The shortage of staff and the cost associated with the treatment of strokes has
proved to be a problem to help people affected by CVA to receive proper treatment.
The primary target users are the medical clinics and hospitals that address to the middle
class people who have suffered a CVA. These hospitals are finding it very challenging to
provide a quality service to their patients at affordable costs and with a cost-effective
solution that doesn’t require as many trained professionals, they can treat more people and
hence it could result in a reduction in treatment cost.
The solution is expected to help the patients to be rehabilitated without the help of a
nurse and with minimal cost. The solution has to rely on a proven method as the treatment
is very critical to help the patients to regain their capability. The current method which
involves physiotherapy requires a skilled professional to assist the patient in massage and
in the movement of the limbs. Due to increase in the number of cases seeking treatment
and lack of proportionate increase in skilled professionals, the treatment has become
increasingly costly. The solution is expected to provide an economical yet effective
treatment to the affected patients.
 The proposed solution is a Digital Monitoring kit for limb physiotherapy rehab that will
help the patients with the movement of the limbs and help them to measure the
improvements in their motor skills. The physiotherapy will be gamified and the users will
be required to move their limbs after wearing a wearable sensing unit which will be in the
form of gloves, rings, etc. The sensors will detect the movement of the limbs, digits, and
other muscles and help the patient to measure the progress in their relearning process.
With the data, the system can map the areas where the user is performing well and the area
where the user has to train more and the game will progress accordingly.

Title of the technology innovation:

smart glove for assisted physiotherapy

Competitive Advantages:
1. Computer aided process with no requirement for trained professionals and nurses.
2. Automated regular monitoring of the progress and easy access to the data.
3. Gamified process that can incentivise the patient to move the limbs and help them track
the progress.
4.They can treat more people and hence it could result in a reduction in treatment cost.

Market info – available/potential/:

Current development status -Technology readiness level:

proof of concept is ready.Now we are developing our prototype in a industrial level

Time required
8 months

Financial Details
A business plan
Target customers : Medical Clinics and Hospitals.
Target Users: Cerebro Vascular Accident patients.

Problem Statement:
1. 3 adults suffer from a CVA every minute in India .
2. 1.5 million people suffer from CVA every year.

Current Condition:
65% lose hand functionality after 6 months in CVA.
1 patient will get treated from 6 months to 1 year.

Market Analysis ( Physiotherapy ):

No of hospitals in coimbatore for CVA treatments (physiotherapy) = 21 hospitals.
No of Doctors in 1 hospital for treating CVA patients = 10 doctors.
No of CVA patients visits hospital per day = 30 - 50 patients.
No of patients a doctor can treat per day = 4 -5 patients.
Physiotherapy Treatment for per patient per day = ranges from 300 - 500 Rupees.

CONSIDERING 1 PATIENT:
for 1 day Treatment costs = 400 rupees.
for 6 month ( 185 days ) = 400 * 185 days = 92,500 ~ 1,00,000 rupees.
For 10 patients ( full treatment costs) =10,00,000 rupees.

Cost of the Project and how it is being met

REVENUE (OUR SOLUTION):

Total cost of a single unit = 60,000 aprox.
No of patients a doctor can treat per day = 15 patients with our product.
Total no of units for one hospital = 5 units * 60,000 = 3,00,000 rupees.

BENEFITS:
1. Calibration cost of Glove two months once.
2. Upgradation of Game Level for therapies.
