Patient motivation is one of the primary drivers of success in rehabilitation1-21
Clinical studies show that engaging and interactive approaches boost not only patient enjoyment of therapy but also the intensity of rehab and clinical outcomes.22-29
Moving research forward
Academic researchers and senior care providers have been conducting rigorous clinical studies to evaluate Jintronix and measure the clinical impact of interactive technology for rehabilitation and geriatric care.
