Frailty Syndrome Clinical Trial
Elderly care has become one of the most important subjects in Taiwan and "frailty syndrome"
are the most common problems among the elderly. In view of this trend, Taipei Veteran
Memorial Hospital imported POWER rehabilitation from Japan in 2008. While showing
significant clinical benefits, investigators have found that the system still has certain
limitations (e.g. high cost, requires large space, patients must commute to the center,
lacks real-time objective feedback , boring routines makes staying power to motivate
patients for long term rehabilitation programs.)
To overcome the above limitations, this project proposes an evidence-based rehabilitation
model that accounts for actual clinical need and collaborates with our engineering team to
develop a "cluster" , "wearable" and "Brain-Computer Interface System" version of POWER
rehabilitation system. Combining cloud technology, investigators now introduce
internet-of-things into the POWER rehabilitation procedure. The result will lower the burden
of clinical support personnel, and provide an opportunity to quantify "frailty syndromes" so
as to allow objective and quantitative scientific evaluation, leading to a more objective
clinical diagnosis.
In addition, this project further proposes a virtual-reality (VR) system for POWER
rehabilitation, as well as designs for the VR sceneries. Through the use of different
animated 3D VR sceneries and interactive game design, investigators can make rehabilitation
interesting and fun for the patients, motivating long-term compliance of the patients,
thereby, improving the clinical outcome of POWER rehabilitation.
This project has the potential to create an innovative solution to address the current
bottlenecks of our rehabilitation treatment model. Successful development of the system will
offer rehabilitation clinicians more treatment options, lower the cost of supporting staff,
reduce commuting cost for the patients, and elevate patient desire to comply with the
treatment program. Finally, the system will not only enhance Taiwan's academic reputation in
the international arena, it will also generate new commercial opportunities for Taiwan and
contribute to Taiwan economic development.
