Przypominajka (The Reminder)

**Przypominajka** is a smart wearable device that monitors the condition of the patient's hand and actively supports the rehabilitation process. It was designed in two versions to meet the different needs of post-stroke patients.

Version 1: Interactive Trainer

This version of Przypominajka is an advanced motivational system.

  • Active Training: In cooperation with a tablet application, the device reminds and motivates the patient to regularly perform the prescribed set of exercises.
  • Intelligent Recognition: Thanks to built-in sensors, the system can assess whether an exercise has been performed correctly. A correct performance is rewarded, which further encourages consistency.
  • Remote Monitoring: The platform allows the therapist to remotely track the patient's progress and individually adjust the exercise plan.
  • Proven Effectiveness: Studies involving patients have shown that supplementary exercises using the Przypominajka had a positive impact on the rehabilitation process, leading to a statistically significant improvement in hand function.

Version 2: "Śpioszek" (The Sleeper) - The Hand's Guardian Angel

This version focuses on the safety of the hand, which the patient cannot feel.

  • Injury Protection: "Śpioszek" constantly monitors the limb's position to prevent it from being unconsciously placed in an incorrect position (e.g., being crushed during sleep or while sitting).
  • Alarm System: If a dangerous position is detected that could lead to injury or nerve damage, the device discreetly alerts the user.
  • Patent Protection: The concept for this device has been granted a Polish patent, confirming its innovation.

Przypominajka is an example of how modern wearable technology can become a personal assistant for the patient, supporting them both in active training and in ensuring their daily safety.
