Dr. Gauthier's Request
OSU's Wexner Medical Center asked us to build a way to monitor stroke patients' hand movement continuously and alert caregivers quickly.
Case study · HandsOn
HandsOn Wearable IoT for Stroke Rehabilitation
A smartwatch and mobile app that monitors hand movement during stroke recovery, built in collaboration with The Ohio State University.
Talk to an engineer, not a salesperson.
The challenge
Stroke recovery needs ongoing monitoring of how patients move, so care teams can respond in time.
HandsOn Wearable IoT System
A wearable solution that monitors hand movement during stroke recovery.
Innovative Approach to Patient Monitoring
We developed a wearable solution that:
Tracks hand movement and distinguishes meaningful movements from incidental ones
Triggers alerts if no movement is detected for 10 minutes
Records movement history for analysis and transfer to paired devices
Historical Data
Records movement history for analysis and transfer to paired devices.
Smart Alerts
Vibrates and displays notifications every 10 minutes if minimal/no movement is detected, with customizable settings.
Intelligent Tracking
Advanced algorithms distinguish meaningful hand movements from incidental motions like typing or slight adjustments.
How the product grew
From a smartwatch app to a smartwatch and mobile platform.
- 01
Smartwatch app
A smartwatch application that monitors patients' hand movement.
- 02
Android app
A mobile application for movement data visualisation and provider dashboards.
