reha buddy improves process and outcome of physical rehabilitation for both patients and therapists. Our body-worn sensors and an easy-to-use app allow for objective quantification of the patients’ progress and performance and put their exercises in an entertaining and game-like context. Patients benefit by being able to leave the clinic earlier and do their exercises at home with real-time feedback. Therapists are able to monitor the patients’ compliance and results in an objectively documented form for the first time. The collected data can even be used to improve the effectiveness of the prescribed exercises.
