The Diamond Suit's high
fidelity prototype is a combination of two user interfaces that benefits
both the patients and physicians in the treatment of upper body rehabilitation.
The Diamond Suit is an upper body suit that is worn by the patient, where
the suit monitors and gathers data on the user’s rehabilitation
status. The data is then sent to a small wireless PDA like device where
the user can view his or her own rehabilitation status. The Diamond Suit’s
patient interface has the ability to help the user monitor their rehabilitation
status by counting the number of reps and sets of their rehabilitation
exercises. The user can also view their rehabilitation progress over a
period of time through an easy to use interface. The patient interface
also has a useful feature to translate into different languages such as
Chinese, English, French, and Korean.
The Diamond Suit’s doctor interface is a program that aids the physicians
in prescribing rehabilitation exercises to the patients wirelessly. A
useful feature that the Diamond Suit’s doctor interface has is that
the interface contains a list of all possible exercises for the patient
to perform. Using the interface, the physician can quickly and easily
prescribe the weight, rep and set amounts for the patient’s rehabilitation
exercises.
