Project

Overview

A wearable rehabilitation glove system with integrated actuators and sensors, controlled by an Android/iOS mobile application over Bluetooth for configurable therapy sessions and progress tracking.

Business

Context

Stroke recovery and physiotherapy programmes need guided, repeatable finger-movement therapy with therapist visibility into session data.

Challenge

Coordinate precise multi-actuator hardware with a responsive mobile therapy UI and secure session data storage.

Solution

Custom glove hardware with 15 actuators plus a cross-platform mobile app for actuator control, session planning and progress metrics.
