A rehabilitation system that includes an image processing apparatus for virtual, augmented, or mixed reality-based rehabilitation, coupled with a practitioner-side and doctor-side terminal, allowing for the sharing of rehab record information to facilitate appropriate menu construction and reduce VR-related risks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If virtual reality-based rehabilitation is used to improve patient motivation and training effectiveness, then rehabilitation effectiveness is improved, but patients may experience VR sickness and other adverse effects
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors patient physiological data (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) during VR rehabilitation and provides real-time feedback to adjust the virtual environment parameters. When adverse effects are detected, the system automatically adjusts stimulus intensity or pauses the session, preventing VR sickness while maintaining rehabilitation effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes VR environment parameters (visual complexity, movement speed, task difficulty) based on real-time physiological monitoring. By adjusting these parameters according to patient tolerance levels, the system maintains optimal rehabilitation effectiveness while preventing adverse effects like VR sickness.
2Productivity
If rehabilitation information is kept separate between doctors and practitioners, then system simplicity is maintained, but rehabilitation optimization is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges previously separate information systems into a unified platform where doctor-prescribed rehabilitation menus and practitioner-collected patient data are integrated. This allows both parties to access and contribute to the same rehabilitation record, enabling continuous optimization while maintaining manageable system complexity through cloud-based centralized storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a cloud-based server as an intermediary that mediates information exchange between doctors and practitioners. The server stores rehabilitation menus, collects physiological data, and enables secure sharing without requiring direct complex connections between all system components, thus facilitating optimization while controlling complexity.
3Reliability
If detailed physiological monitoring is implemented to ensure patient safety, then patient safety is improved, but system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses wearable sensors that automatically monitor physiological parameters without requiring manual intervention. The devices self-collect data on heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, transmitting information wirelessly to the rehabilitation system, thereby ensuring patient safety while minimizing additional system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex manual monitoring procedures with automated electronic sensing and data processing. Electronic sensors and wireless communication substitute for manual measurement and recording, reducing the mechanical complexity of the monitoring system while enhancing patient safety through continuous automated surveillance.

AI summary
The present invention is a rehabilitation system for performing rehabilitation of higher brain dysfunction, and includes: an image processing apparatus that executes an app for presenting a patient a problem for rehab based on an image using virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality and stores the patient's problem solution record as rehab record information; a practitioner-side terminal that receives the rehab record information from the image processing apparatus; a server that saves the rehab record information transmitted from the practitioner-side terminal; and a doctor-side terminal that receives the rehab record information from the server and displays the state of rehabilitation performed for the patient on the basis of the rehab record information.
