UpGrove

Upgrove is a mobile application for upper limb rehabilitation assessment at home. The application uses camera-based motion capture on standard phones, tablets and televisions with front-facing cameras, so no wearable sensors are needed. Standardized clinical motion tests are translated into farm-themed mini-games. Computer vision analyzes movement to estimate range of motion, accuracy and stability, and a score is produced after each activity. Progress reports allow patients to follow long-term recovery and allow clinicians to review performance remotely.
