Rebuilding Lives With Wearables: The Next Frontier in Rehabilitation

Wearable devices are rapidly becoming indispensable for at-home care and rehabilitation programs as their data-gathering capability informs better clinical decision-making, but as the technology advances, are we now looking at more than just smart watches? Jim Banks looks at how wearables, ranging from fitness trackers to robotic exoskeletons, are helping patients rebuild their lives.

Abstract

Wearable devices are rapidly becoming indispensable for at-home care and rehabilitation programs as their data-gathering capability informs better clinical decision-making, but as the technology advances, are we now looking at more than just smart watches? Jim Banks looks at how wearables, ranging from fitness trackers to robotic exoskeletons, are helping patients rebuild their lives.
