The DigiClap+ research team are working on a new revolutionary intelligent product-service-system to help individuals develop functional hand skills. Through DigiClap we aim to motivate people with hand dysfunction to carry out rehabilitation exercises by playing commercially available games.
Finger attachments can be added/removed depending on the activity being conducted.
Rings are sized according to the individuals’ finger size, while being adjustable for comfort and variance in the finger size.
The device can be modified to fit the likings and identity of the child, by changing its colour and engraving their initials/name on it.
Via reverse engineering a splint can be attached to the device, depending on the needs of the end-user.
Our aim is to increase the motivation of people during therapy sessions to helping them rehabilitate and ultimately improve their quality of life. Thus, our team employs a user-centred design approach by acknowledging and understanding the individual`s personal needs with the prospect to develop an intelligent product-service-system that caters for various individuals with hand dysfunction to develop hand skills that they require to live a more independent life.
