The introduction of the Techcare Interactive Board (QBOD) at Sunway Medical Centre, reaffirms its commitment to providing world-class, evidence-based rehabilitation services. It stands as a shining example of how technology and human care can work hand in hand to empower patients, restore function and improve quality of life by introducing advanced upper limb rehabilitation through new technologies, leading the way towards a more interactive and patient-focused future in healthcare.
QBOD is an advanced digital rehabilitation system that combines movement and brain training in one interactive touchscreen. It helps patients improve coordination, reaction, and focus through fun, engaging activities, while giving therapists accurate data to track progress and personalized treatment.
Key Benefits for Patient :
1. Comprehensive Upper Limb Training
QBOD targets multiple aspects of upper limb rehabilitation, including:
● Range of Movement - Helps patients move their arms and joints more freely through guided visual exercises that improve flexibility and joint activity.
● Hand-Eye Coordination - Trains the eyes and hands to work together through fun, interactive tasks that enhance control, timing, and focus.
● Reaction Time - Improves how quickly patients respond to what they see or
hear, helping to build sharper reflexes for daily activities.
● Movement Accuracy - Encourages smoother and more controlled motions, helping patients regain confidence in performing precise movements.
● Functional Endurance - Builds arm strength and stamina with engaging, task-based exercises that prepare patients for real-life functions.
2. Cognitive and Visuomotor Stimulation
QBOD not only trains the body but also strengthens the mind. It includes cognitive activities that help improve focus, attention, and problem-solving skills while patients move and interact on the screen.
These exercises train the brain to work better with the body, enhancing concentration, visual perception, and movement control. By combining thinking and motion, QBOD promotes neuroplasticity, the brain’s natural ability to form new connections supporting lasting recovery and better everyday function.
3. Adaptive, Customisable Experience
QBOD adapts to each patient’s needs, providing a truly personalised therapy experience. With over 100 adjustable difficulty levels, therapists can easily tailor the training to match each patient’s ability and progress, ensuring the right challenge every time.
The system supports both seated and standing training, making it suitable for patients with different mobility levels. Plus, with a quick setup time of under five minutes, sessions can begin smoothly and efficiently, allowing more time for meaningful therapy.
4. Real-Time Feedback and Progress Tracking
QBOD gives instant visual feedback during every session, helping patients see their progress and stay motivated.
Therapists can easily track each patient’s improvement with pre- and post-training results stored in the built-in database.
This provides clear, objective data that supports accurate clinical assessments and helps guide personalized treatment plans, turning every session into measurable progress.
5. Engaging, Motivational Therapy
QBOD makes rehabilitation enjoyable by turning therapy into an interactive, game-like experience. Patients stay motivated and look forward to each session, making it easier to stay consistent with their exercises. This higher engagement leads to better participation, faster progress, and longer-lasting recovery outcomes helping patients regain function with confidence and enthusiasm.
“With QBOD, rehabilitation becomes more than just exercise it’s an interactive and motivating journey of recovery,” said Ms. Woo Li Yee. "Every step of progress matters to us, and QBOD ensures that every movement counts turning rehabilitation into a meaningful, motivating, and measurable experience,” she added.
Through engaging, game-like activities, patients are no longer just performing repetitive movements, they are actively participating in their own recovery. Each session provides real-time feedback and measurable data, helping patients see their progress clearly and gain confidence along the way.
For therapists, this data-driven approach allows for precise customization of therapy based on individual needs and goals. The result is a rehabilitation experience that is not only more enjoyable but also more effective, empowering both patients and clinicians to achieve better outcomes together.
