i-Therapy: a non-invasive multimedia authoring framework for context-aware therapy design

In this paper, we present an e-Therapy framework, named i-Therapy, which collects live therapeutic context by analyzing multi-sensory body joint data in a non-invasive way. Using our proposed framework, a therapist can model complex gestures by mapping them to a set of primitive gesture sequences and generate high-level therapies. As a proof of concept, we have developed scenarios to express a Hemiplegic patient’s behavior into a set of track-able primitive gestures. The initial feedback from the therapists who have tested our developed framework is encouraging. Finally, we share the implementation details and analysis of test results.
