IIT-Hyderabad's 'ArmAble' Device Could Help Stroke Victims Recover More Quickly Through Gamification

An Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT-H) incubated startup has developed a "gamified arm rehabilitation" device that would aid in brain and motor rehabilitation of stroke victims.

BeAble Health's 'ArmAble' is affordable, offers engaging game-based therapy, has data-based quantified progress and recovery and can also be used for tele-rehabilitation.

Aimed at targeting conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, fracture and frozen shoulder, it can solve the pressing need for intensive, engaging and regular rehabilitation therapy for the upper limb, the institute said.

The device motivates the patients to engage in therapy using the immersive games which lead to an increased number of repetition. The tele-rehabilitation in ArmAble connects a therapist to patients by remotely connecting through a cloud platform.
