An AI-driven Phone-based Mobility and Ability Evaluation System for Screening and Precise Exercise Program for Knee Health
This smart ageing solution improves the quality of life of older adults. A mobile app uses vision computing technology to assess physical health to determine the risk of developing common degenerative diseases through simple and convenient tests. It recommends exercise programmes tailored to individual needs and provides regular evaluations to track progress.
The app has four main functions: (1) step-to-step instructions for performing walking, sit-to-stand, and knee bending tests using a mobile phone; (2) computing walking speed, knee angles, and number of sit-to-stands in 30 seconds; (3) categorising knee health into fit, marginal, and at-risk groups based on individual performance compared to those of similar age and gender, and suggesting appropriate exercise/physical activities; and (4) tracking changes in knee health over time.
The app offers fast and easy screening, precise recommendations, and tracking of changes to monitor and improve knee health.
Knee pain can hinder mobility and affect quality of life for older adults. The app promotes early identification, intervention with precision medicine, helping to promote healthy living and reduce medical burdens.
