I made Embrace Rehab for my father. Last year he became paralyzed on one side of his body due to a spinal cord injury. He’s learning to walk again through physical therapy. But like most patients in his situation, it’s hard to stay motivated. He’s not alone! Only 7% of patients actually keep up with their physical therapy.

Embrace Rehab is a mobile app that track and visualize the progress of a rehab patient. It’s a collaborative dashboard shared by a rehab patient and his caregivers. It promotes feelings of confidence and efficacy that are essential for recovery.

The app allows caregiver(s) to remind a patient to do his exercises, assign new tasks, send words of encouragement, and most importantly keep track of progress, which promotes the efficacy that is essential for recovery.
