Interactive Therapeutic Systems: A Gamified Approach to Hand Rehabilitation and AI -driven Support

This paper presents an interactive therapeutic tool for individuals recovering from strokes or managing hand- related conditions, such as office syndrome. It features a force sensor embedded in a soft rubber hand gripper, connected to a microcomputer, transforming exercises into an engaging gamified experience. By combining therapy with interactive gameplay, the tool motivates adherence while recording timestamped data for healthcare professionals to personalize treatments and inform AI-driven analysis. This affordable, accessible prototype demonstrates the potential of gamified technology to enhance rehabilitation processes and provide actionable insights for improved therapeutic outcomes.
