No technology in the world can replace a therapist. However, technical support in modern physiotherapy and rehabilitation should and must no longer be dispensed with today. Pixformance - known from the FOCUS Gesundheit issue Dec./Jan. 2018/19 - has already been operating in Germany's top rehab clinics for years and successfully supports therapy and rehabilitation measures.
What is Pixformance?
The Pixformance station is a digital sports device for highly effective, functional training. It was developed by experts from the fields of science, technology, medicine and fitness with the aim of relieving therapists of the burden of instructing exercises through computer-assisted therapy and accompanying their patients on the road to recovery in a highly effective manner. The benefit: Real-time digital feedback allows patients to complete supervised workouts - even without a therapist providing 1:1 supervision.
Innovative technology for highly efficient and sustainable therapy
What's special about Pixformance: simple exercise instructions, precise movement guidance and real-time digital feedback.
The exerciser stands in front of the Pixformance station and the exercise to be performed is demonstrated on the screen. While the exercise is being performed, a camera with a built-in depth sensor scans 26 of the patient's joint points in a matter of seconds and analyzes the movements to provide simultaneous real-time digital feedback. This ensures that the exercises are performed correctly and, above all, particularly safely - as if under the guidance of a real therapist.
In other words, the Pixformance station provides continuous, digital guidance with regard to the accuracy, speed and precision of an exercise execution and thus offers valuable information for an efficient and sustainable course of therapy.
Fully networked
Through the interaction of the Pixformance station, the Pixformance online platform and the Pixformance app, each individual workout can be optimized. On the online platform, customized training programs and plans can be created and adjusted by a therapist, and training successes can be viewed. Therapists and patients have access from anywhere and at any time via the Internet. Training results can also be tracked and exercises viewed at any time on the app, allowing patients to continue to pursue their therapy goals from home.
What are the concepts?
Pixformance offers highly effective and particularly safe therapy concepts that are tailored to the individual needs of patients. Concepts for individual training with only one Pixformance station as well as circuit training concepts - starting with three Pixformance stations - can be integrated.
Top benefits for therapists and patients
- More economic independence
Pixformance gives therapists the opportunity to build up the self-pay sector and thus an additional mainstay in the second health market: for more economic independence from doctors' prescriptions.
- Additional service offering
Thanks to the patented software, several patients can be cared for at the same time and without additional personnel expenditure.
- Efficient patient management
On the online platform, the training history of each patient is precisely documented for training analysis and optimization.
- More individualized care
Training programs can be tailored to each patient's health condition and therapy needs.
- Over 150 exercises available
On the online platform, individual training plans can be compiled from a collection of over 150 functional exercises.
- More time for the essentials
Therapists don't have to demonstrate each exercise in person, saving time - which in turn benefits the care of all patients.
