Students at UK University, Nottingham Trent, have been awarded a £347,000 grant to build a prototype system which uses a Kinect sensor to give feedback to patients and clinicians in the hope that it will help to aid stroke victims.
The basic principles of the idea are that the created system detects and tracks asymmetries on either side of the patient’s face while they perform facial exercises.
It’s amazing that video games/systems can do a lot more than just simply ‘entertain’ us isn’t it? What do you make of this story? Would you welcome a NHS filled with Kinect sensors?
