Rehabilitation Questionnaire System for Dynamic Regimen Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current rehabilitation systems lack effective remote monitoring and patient interaction tools to ensure safe and efficient physical rehabilitation regimens for body parts like joints and muscle groups, particularly in post-operative care, where patient conditions and adherence to treatment plans need real-time assessment and feedback.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented system with a clinician interface for managing treatment plans and a patient interface for remote interaction, including a treatment apparatus and questionnaire system that allows patients to input their conditions and performance data, enabling real-time monitoring and adjusting the rehabilitation regimen based on patient feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rehabilitation system implements remote monitoring and patient interaction tools, then patient safety and recovery outcomes are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a questionnaire mechanism that collects patient feedback on physical conditions and treatment effects. This feedback is processed by the processor to dynamically adjust treatment parameters, creating a closed-loop control system that improves patient safety through continuous monitoring and adaptation without requiring complex manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patient interface enables self-monitoring and self-reporting of physical conditions through the questionnaire system. Patients independently input their own data about pain levels, mobility, and treatment responses, eliminating the need for constant clinician assessment and reducing system complexity while maintaining reliable safety monitoring
2Productivity
If real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of treatment plans are implemented, then rehabilitation effectiveness is improved, but loss of time for data collection and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-structures the questionnaire with predetermined questions about specific physical conditions and treatment parameters. This preliminary organization of data collection templates allows patients to quickly provide relevant information without time-consuming free-form responses, enabling real-time monitoring while minimizing data collection time
Solution Approach 2:
The processor dynamically adjusts treatment parameters based on questionnaire responses, transforming qualitative patient feedback into quantitative treatment modifications. This parameter transformation approach enables rapid decision-making and treatment adjustment without extensive analysis time, improving rehabilitation effectiveness while maintaining efficient time utilization

AI summary
A treatment apparatus includes a machine configured to be manipulated by a patient to perform a regimen for rehabilitation and one or more internal sensors configured to generate data indicating performance of the regimen by the patient. The machine is configured to receive at least one of a first input from a clinician interface and a second input from a patient interface. The first input corresponds to a prompt, presented on the clinician interface, to modify the regimen based on the data indicating performance of the regimen and the second input corresponds to at least one response to a plurality of questions, presented on the patient interface, pertaining to a current or past physical condition of the patient. The machine is further configured, responsive to the at least one of the first input and the second input, to selectively stop or prevent operation of the machine by the patient.
