Problem: Low adherence to home exercise programs affects rehabilitation outcomes in Nigeria, with only 30% of patients following physiotherapists' recommendations. This causes poor outcomes and longer recovery times for patients as well as stress and burnout for physiotherapists. Both patients and the healthcare system are affected by this problem.
Unique Selling Point: From a clinical perspective, physiotherapists in public and private hospitals manually give home exercise programmes to outpatients and rely on their patients word that they’ll carry out the exercises and do them properly as instructed. In Nigeria, there are some web platforms that facilitate tele-rehabilitation by linking physiotherapists to people in need of their services, but none target or solve the adherence level of patients with their home exercise programmes, hence making ReHboX the first in Nigeria and Africa to solve this and giving it a first-mover advantage. Using motion tracking and artificial intelligence, ReHboX uses the users’ cell-phone camera to capture and track full-body movements, allowing physiotherapists to virtually onboard outpatients and clients, plan home-exercise programmes, track compliance with the exercises, and provide patient education. ReHboX Offers: 1) Personalized treatment plans. 2) Convenience: Accessed anywhere & anytime without having to visit the hospital. 3) Software Integration: Physiotherapists in Public/Private hospitals can use our software to run virtual clinics. 4) Fun, Engaging & Incentivized: Uses gamification & reward system to keep users engaged & entertained. 5) Innovative technology: Our technology eliminates the need for wearable technology, allowing smartphone users access Physiotherapy remotely.
