AR Muscle Building Training for Healthier Home Epidemic Prevention
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the opportunities for residents to live at home have increased, and some patients with reduced physical activity are reduced, and lack of physical activity leads to a decline in physical function. Taipei Veterans General Hospital medical education department specially uses augmented reality (AR) System to design a “medical AR teaching app” that can be used by healthy people and patients with chronic heart failure, myocardial infarction, happy surgery, degenerative knee is surgery and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. People can DIY muscle and walking training, Home epidemic prevention is healthier.
The AR App muscle training content includes upper limbs, lower limbs, and cardiopulmonary movements (as shown in Figure 1), said Ying-ying Yang, Director of the Department of Clinical Technical Training and Clinical Technology Training Department, Ying-Ying Yang, said that this AR APP muscle training content includes upper limbs, lower limbs, and cardiopulmonary movements (as shown in Figure 1). When synchronizing, you can see the correctness of the actions that you perform yourself (see Figure 2). More interestingly, after running a gait test using AR spatial positioning, big data analysis gives training suggestions (such as continuous or intermittent training) (as shown in Figure 3), and real-time voice reminders are accelerated or slowed down in walking training.
Upon completion of the training, the user is motivated according to the level of completion, and the AR teacher (shown in Figure 4) transforms into five distinct phases, allowing users to clearly understand how much progress is being made, and the results of their efforts can be shared with friends and family, becoming an ongoing motivation. Director Yang said that the Medical AR Teaching APP has been experienced by 333 people, which gives positive feedback and appreciation, and can be synchronously combined with a smart bracelet to monitor heart rate changes at any time during training, so that users and caregivers can keep track of the practice status, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.https://reurl.cc/Ez6VR1) (Figure 5), and is suitable for various vehicles such as smartphones, tablets, etc., to welcome the public to experience.
Mrs. 90 years old, thanks to her grandmother, who has a history of high blood pressure and diabetes. In order to avoid physical deterioration, she is always with her mother, doing various strength and walking exercises without professional guidance. After practicing with AR App, thanks to the guidance of AR teachers, Grandma found it very fun, actively participated in various home exercises designed for her, and strongly recommended it to others. She was very happy.
Mr. Chan, 83, with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was very encouraged after practicing AR app. The design Team specially designed various cardiopulmonary exercises and walking exercises (See figure 6/Figure 7), so that Mr. Chan could be energetic and energetic, and continuously practiced to improve her cardiopulmonary function significantly.
Director Yang emphasized that this AR App is not limited to patient use. It has been widely used in hospital teaching courses. After being used by teachers in the medical profession, they can design different training courses, train students how to apply it, and provide professional advice to users, greatly increasing the effectiveness of the training.
