Technology Overview
PoseFit Muscular Functional Screening Mirror for Older Adults.
ITRI’s PoseFit Mirror uses 2D skeleton extraction and motion tracking dynamic estimation to evaluate muscular functions. It marks and measures posture, motion balance, and flexibility of the tested person, along with their muscular strength and endurance levels, and then suggests personalized strengthening exercises based on the results.
The system provides a simple, streamlined screening procedure and user interface that is easy for elders to operate and follow. The set of testing poses and movements were designed by sports and physiology experts and the evaluation model strictly follows research results and studies. The elderly being tested need not wear or be attached to additional devices; the screening can be done simply by following and emulating a set of poses.
Posefit Mirror would be directly applicable to most long-term care facilities or fitness centers. We might also foresee future spin-off or licensing agreements for this product with companies interested in senior healthcare and fitness. Hopefully, this system would eventually improve care and quality of life for the entire senior population.
