ATTRACTIF

Based on interviews and focus groups at Rijndam Rehabilitation, a design of the Arm Activity Tracker was made, which was evaluated and optimized in an iterative process. In the second stage of the project, a first prototype was developed and evaluated in daily life. The prototype was evaluated on user-friendliness, acceptance and technical performance. These evaluations showed that the system is user-friendly and performs acceptably from a technical point of view. Two additional components were developed on the basis of interviews with therapists and patients: a smartphone app that provides patients with detailed feedback on their daily arm-hand use, and a computer program that allows therapists to visualize patients’ arm use and provides feedback to the patient. The last stage of the project includes application of the system in a feasibility study at Rijndam. This project has been financed with a contribution of Health Holland (TKI).
