Paper Abstract:
|
The continuation of training at home after a stay in a rehabilitation clinic requires motivation and personal responsibility.
However, patients do often not achieve the required training frequency. In this work, we propose a method to visualize
the training status based on light, which can be integrated into the rehabilitation process. Integrated into the personal
environment, feedback is generated if training is necessary or not. Based on a first prototype, we evaluated the impact on
a patient in a qualitative experimental pilot study over four weeks and the expected overall effect on patients by an expert
interview. The results show an animating and rewarding impact on the patient, as well as an orientation for scheduled
training days and supporting effect for regular training. This work provides a basis for further research to improve the
integration of home training into the everyday life of patients and the use of feedback. |
