Gamification Rehabilitation

About this project

To keep patients engaged and excited about Physical Training, makers gamified rehabilitation and designed a therapeutic game. The team created a way that turns chores into a game that can be used for rehabilitation. Combining physical therapy with a Pong game makes the process fun, and drives the patient to continue treatment. This project was a co-operation between Beit Levinstein hospital and Intel Israel and is the winner of the Sivan Prize for Scalability.

The challenge

Rehabilitation is repetitive and often boring. The purpose of the device is creatively gamifying rehabilitation. As part of the rehabilitation process, patients are required to perform simple and often boring actions every day. In fact, that is the reason most people quit therapy and their healing process stops.
