Artificial Intelligence(AI) Healthcare and Customized Rehabilitation

Artificial Intelligence Healthcare for Stroke Rehabilitation


AI Healthcare is emerging as next-generation technology, bringing fundamental
changes to one's lifestyle as well as to healthcare ecology through the change
of healthcare paradigm, explosive data growth, and organic emergence of cutting
edge technologies. Traditional healthcare was focused on curing a disease.
However, healthcare today is moving on to advanced prevention, early diagnosis,
and customized care services. The main reason for this shift is secondary to the
needs of the customers’ for an innovative healthcare service that can lower
their medical expenses, which has been aggravated because of the aging
population.

As leading expert medical knowledge is exponentially-increasing, the medical
data and the ability to connect the knowledge to the next-generation medical
industry in increasing. AI is highly regarded as the most efficient form of
technology for medical big-data analysis.



Big-data itself has become an educational infrastructure that develops AI
systems, AI and Big-data formulated a virtuous circulation and triggered a new
medical service, called “AI Healthcare.” Furthermore, the active AI-tech-based
combination of diverse fields, such as medical technology and ICT(Internet
Communication Technology) expands the applicative opportunity of conversion
technology in the medical industry. This technological convergence is forecasted
to be a source of the innovative medical service.
Recently, AI technology has been introduced in various healthcare related
industries and has been applied to the medical picture analysis, study of
diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and new development of medicine. We are
expecting the healthcare industry to provide customized treatment to each
patient with AI.



Neofect [https://www.neofect.com/us] is a customized rehabilitation solution,
designed to enable a patient to enjoy one’s rehabilitation at anytime and
anywhere with the smart rehabilitation device. Based on AI and clinical grounds,
Neofect consistently measures the patient’s condition and suggests proper
training game content to the patient. Neofect motivates the patient by
reflecting the user’s preference on the system.
The training data of the patient is saved in a cloud system, therefore the
patient can train at home and at the hospital seamlessly. As the rehabilitation
data is shared with the medical team, the patient can be effectively managed at
all times. If you are interested in Neofect, please visit our website for a free
consultation: www.neofect.com [https://www.neofect.com/us]

Artificial Intelligence

Daniel Wolpert said, "The brain was made not to think but to achieve complex, adapted movements." Do you know why he said like this?

Why Neuro-Rehabilitation is Necessary for Stroke Patients

Why Neuro-Rehab is Necessary after Stroke?
Every Olympics season, spirits are high. We are enthusiastic about fierce
matches and dramatic victories but at the same time we are also impressed by the
amazing movements the world class athletes make. The body trained to the human
limit and its motions themselves are a piece of art.


Looking at these marvelous motions, most of the people might be frustrated
thinking “I won’t be able to move like that”, but this is not quite true. Every
unconscious motion of our daily lives (walking, running, eating with a spoon,
text-messaging with a smart phone, etc.) actually is a highly trained, elaborate
movement. At first, babies meaninglessly shake their limbs and learn how the
order of the brain and the movement relate to each other. In this process, a
complicated circuit for exercise is created which gradually enables complex
motions.


In fact, the distinction between animals including human and plants is the
‘movement’ and it is the key in the signification of the word ‘animal’. The
brain fundamentally controls the elaborate motions and is developed to learn new
movements. When we generally think of brain, we associate it with the high-level
abstract intellectual capacity, but it was created with the primary purpose of
realizing physical movements. In the TED Talk below, a world famous
neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert specifies this. “The brain was made not to think
but to achieve complex, adapted movements”.

We will give you another example. If you would like to know how complicated and
difficult realizing the human movements is, let robots do the same thing. The
video clip below includes a series of scenes showing how humanoid robots of
DARPA Robotics Challenge 2015 “fail”. This robot contest assumes disasters such
as fire and assesses how humanoid robots carry out necessary relief works in the
given scenario. The robots in the video indicate how unlikely they are to
realize movements that common people naturally make.

Of course it not only relates to motion control but also to intricate matters of
sensorimotor integration which involves object recognition and making
appropriate orders. Although we are living in a world where the artificial
intelligence has defeated a world-best human go player, the “artificial
intelligence that realizes physical activities” cannot even easily accomplish a
simple movement such as opening a door. This proves how difficult it is to
realize elaborate, flexible exercise regulation and motor learning.

No matter how complex motions are, most of the people are moving without much
difficulty. Unfortunately, many patients suffering from central nervous system
diseases –such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy- cannot do the
same. Specific symptoms and the degrees vary according to the affected brain
part and its severity but even if the muscles and bones are intact, they could
suffer dyskinesia when a brain function that controls physical activity is
damaged.

However, the rehabilitation training could open up possibilities of exercise
function recovery. In addition, this probability indicates that the brain not
only operates elaborate mobility-regulation but also could re-learn its lost
ability or new motions through “exercise learning” process. A simple analogy
would be a detour when a road is blocked by construction. In this case,
pioneering a path would be a better explanation.

However, like all other learning processes, “how you achieve it” is a key factor
in exercise training through rehabilitation. In Neofect
[https://www.neofect.com/us], by diagnosing patients through detail exercise
evaluation, we constantly study and develop optimal training programs. Regarding
rehabilitation, a new trend is a fusion between the former neurorehabilitation
that concentrates on changes of brain and a recently-significant approach that
is based on data. By this change, we expect all patients of motor neuron
diseases to recover their beautiful, free movements through efficient
rehabilitation.
