room4Physio
room4Physio is not only a teletherapy solution but also a platform that motivates patients to train independently through gamification. Patients can perform exercises at any time, regardless of their location, and the digital training assistant recognizes when the exercise has been performed, motivating patients in a playful way. For this purpose, exercise videos of the patient are recorded, which can then be used for individual training. room4Physio is the combination of classic physiotherapy and digital therapy experience, using teletherapy, artificial intelligence, and gamification – for use at home or on the road.
room4Physio's Story
Oliver, the founder of room4Physio, has been closely tied to physiotherapy for many years due to many injuries. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the important treatments could no longer take place. That’s why together with his physiotherapist Kerstin they tried to do a tele-treatment via established teleconference tools. After a bumpy start of the application (technical hurdle), the treatment worked relatively well. However, data protection issues, as well as the complex operation are hurdles for the wider use of this software. This was the initial idea for room4Physio.
