Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

Cardon Rehabilitation and Medical Equipment Ltd. is developing the Automated Rehabilitation System (ARS) which tracks themotion of rehabilitation patients during exercise sessions. This system will provide patients with guidance and feedback on theirexercise motion, as well as enhance patient assessment for physiotherapists. ARS will revolutionize the rehabilitation industry byproviding clinicians with quantitative data on patient progression which has previously been unavailable for clinical practice. Thissystem will also bring Cardon Rehab to the next level of innovation in the field of medical technology.Cardon Rehab is partnering with SIRT Centre at Sheridan College to leverage their expertise on 3D human modelling andanimation. SIRT Centre will be providing Cardon Rehab with a 3D visualization solution to render the patients motion in real-time,providing patients with feedback and guidance on their exercise movement. The visualization will also provide physiotherapistswith the ability to playback the captured motion when assessing patient progress.The proposed innovation is a new 3D environment which will be compatible for multiple platforms, driven by real-time motion data,and include fully rigged skeletal 3D humanoid models with texture and lighting. The results of this project will improve the usabilityof the system, providing patients with enriched guidance and feedback and practitioners with a more informative video playback oftheir patients movements.For more information on Cardon Rehabilitation and Medical Equipment, please visit http://cardonrehab.com/
