“…The average root-mean-squared error (RMSE) between the angle estimation was 3.57° during the tasks from 15° to 75° among seven subjects. As such, the system achieved comparable accuracy to the current state of the art in wearable sensors for rehabilitation [ 32 ]. The aim of this study is to evaluate attitudes regarding the usability, credibility, acceptance, and motivational aspects of technology-supported postural feedback during scapular training in patients with musculoskeletal shoulder pain and in physical therapists who treat patients with shoulder disorders.…”

Wearable technologies for posture monitoring and posture correction are emerging as a way to support and enhance physical therapy treatment, e.g., for motor control training in neurological disorders or for treating musculoskeletal disorders, such as shoulder, neck, or lower back pain. Among the various technological options for posture monitoring, wearable systems offer potential advantages regarding mobility, use in different contexts and sustained tracking in daily life. We describe the design of a smart garment named Zishi to monitor compensatory movements and evaluate its applicability for shoulder motor control training in a clinical setting. Five physiotherapists and eight patients with musculoskeletal shoulder pain participated in the study. The attitudes of patients and therapists towards the system were measured using standardized survey instruments. The results indicate that patients and their therapists consider Zishi a credible aid for rehabilitation and patients expect it will help towards their recovery. The system was perceived as highly usable and patients were motivated to train with the system. Future research efforts on the improvement of the customization of feedback location and modality, and on the evaluation of Zishi as support for motor learning in shoulder patients, should be made.

“…For their effective implementation in healthcare, the design and use of technology-enabled systems must reflect the needs, lifestyles, and preferences of patients (Dadgar and Joshi, 2017). The academic literature relating to digital wearable technologies is also growing (Rodgers, et al, 2015;Taylor, 2014;Wang, et al, 2014;Chan, et al, 2012) with multiple applications in the monitoring of cardiovascular, diabetes and respiratory diseases. There are also examples in the literature of mobile phone technology use in improving health outcomes for chronic disease conditions and the self-management of breast cancer, post-hospitalisation HIV and pharmaceutical care (e.g.…”

With the move towards more 'outcome' and 'value'-based treatment regimensincreasingly tailored for the individual patientthere is growing pressure on healthcare systems and the pharmaceutical sector to collaborate and co-develop innovative models of care and medication. This paper focuses on the impact disruptive digital technologies may have on the UK Pharma/National Health Service (NHS) ecosystem, and is set within the boundaries of treating chronic diseases. A comprehensive generic model for designing more 'connected' value networks is developed, and validated by an expert panel in the specific case of type 2 diabetes. An underlying 'disconnection' between e-healthcare and pharma value networks, operating as independent entities, is demonstrated. Moreover, the extant literature details only simple product-fee relationships, without considering the value potential of more digitally connected partnerships. Hence, we explore the potential for emerging product-service system (PSS) concepts involving, for example, health information exchange mechanisms, interoperability and data analytics, wearable technologies, and patient Apps. Scenarios involving more distributed 'make-to-order' service models are also represented by the model-demonstrating the potential for technologies, such as 3D printing, to enable localised and personalised medication manufacture Underpinned by the literature on digital/IoT-based business models and PSSs, the conceptual model reduces complexity and provides practical guidance on future operating principles and protocols to be used in the design and implementation of improved e-healthcare solutions. In turn, this enables stakeholders to better understand potential relationships, serviceable aspects, data flows and revenue streams. Through use of the model, various disparities in key stakeholder perspectives are also captured in this paper. Findings include concerns on the collection and use of patient data, except if partnering mechanisms with the NHS were in place, and when devices/services could be provided for free. Stakeholder viewpoints expressing a preference to be at the centre of data collection, disagreement over data ownership and financial models, and the difficulty in establishing partnerships from a wearables technology provider perspective are highlighted.

Rehabilitation aids help people with temporal or permanent disabilities during the rehabilitation process. However, these solutions are usually expensive and, consequently, inaccessible outside of professional medical institutions. Rapid advances in software development, Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and additive manufacturing open up a way to affordable rehabilitation solutions, even to the general population. Imagine a rehabilitation aid constructed from accessible software and hardware with local production. Many obstacles exist to using such technology, starting with the development of unified software for custom-made devices. In this paper, we address open issues in designing rehabilitation aids by proposing an extensive rehabilitation platform. To demonstrate our concept, we developed a unique platform, RehabHand. The main idea is to use domain-specific language and code generation techniques to enable loosely coupled software and hardware solutions. The main advantage of such separation is support for modular and a higher abstraction level by enabling therapists to write rehabilitation exercises in natural, domain-specific terminology and share them with patients. The same platform provides a hardware-independent part that facilitates the integration of new rehabilitation devices. Experience in implementing RehabHand with three different rehabilitation devices confirms that such rehabilitation technology can be developed, and shows that implementing a hardware-independent rehabilitation platform might not be as challenging as expected.
