Restore
Restore is a forward-thinking healthcare technology company specializing in creating engaging, data-driven solutions for therapy management in skilled nursing facilities. From March 2018 to July 2018, I collaborated with Restore on a part-time basis to develop an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) application designed to enhance physical therapy sessions through interactive games that use camera and motion tracking technology.
My role involved developing a HIPAA-compliant, multitenant platform that integrated with an extensive library of HTML5/Flash games, enabling administrators to create therapeutic sessions tailored to individual client needs. This innovative platform harnessed the power of real-time feedback and gamification to motivate patients and improve therapeutic outcomes.
Key Project and Contributions
React.js / Python (Eve) / SQL Application for Physical Therapy Sessions
Project Overview
Developed an MVP application using React.js for the frontend, Python (Eve) for the backend, and SQL for the database. This HIPAA-compliant platform aimed to facilitate physical therapy sessions by integrating with over 50 existing JavaScript games created by Restore. The application was designed to be multitenant, allowing administrators to create therapeutic sessions for clients by selecting from the available games.
Technologies and Applications:
- Frontend: React.js
- Backend: Python (Eve)
- Database: SQL
- Game Integration: HTML5/Flash games
- Motion Tracking: Camera and motion tracking technology
Features and Processes:
Multitenant Capability:
- Enabled different administrators to create and manage therapeutic sessions for multiple clients within a single platform.
Game Integration:
- Integrated with over 50 existing JavaScript games that employed camera and motion tracking technology to track patients' progress and provide real-time feedback.
Session Creation and Management:
- Allowed administrators to create customized therapy sessions by selecting from the available games tailored to individual patient needs.
- Used camera and motion tracking technology to engage patients actively, encouraging them to "play" as part of their therapy.
Data-Driven Progress Tracking:
- Collected and analyzed data on patients' performance during therapy sessions.
- Provided actionable insights to therapists to adjust sessions and improve therapeutic outcomes.
Outcomes
The application significantly enhanced the therapy experience by transforming traditional physical therapy sessions into engaging and interactive activities. The integration of camera and motion tracking technology ensured that patients received real-time feedback, which motivated them to achieve their therapy goals. The data-driven approach allowed therapists to monitor progress and make informed decisions, leading to better clinical outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
Impact and Practices
Effective Integration of Gamification and Therapy
Restore benefited significantly from the application’s ability to turn physical therapy into an engaging and motivational experience. By integrating gamification principles and real-time feedback, the platform helped patients stay motivated and actively participate in their therapy sessions, leading to improved therapeutic outcomes.
Robust Compliance and Data Security
Ensuring HIPAA compliance was a cornerstone of this engagement. By utilizing best practices for data handling and security, the platform maintained the highest standards of data privacy, reinforcing Restore’s commitment to patient confidentiality and trust.
Outcomes and Reflections
The collaboration with Restore highlighted the transformative potential of combining gamification and data-driven insights in physical therapy. By developing an innovative platform that integrated interactive games with therapeutic activities, the project demonstrated how technology could enhance patient engagement and improve clinical outcomes. This engagement underscored the importance of leveraging modern technology to create solutions that are both effective and compliant with industry standards.
Conclusion
Partnering with Restore was a rewarding experience that showcased the power of combining gamification, data-driven insights, and real-time feedback to enhance physical therapy. Developing a HIPAA-compliant platform that integrated interactive games transformed traditional therapy sessions into engaging and effective treatments. These contributions were instrumental in improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency for skilled nursing facilities. The success of these initiatives aligns with Dev3loper.ai’s mission to leverage cutting-edge technology and best practices to drive transformative change across diverse industries.
