St. Peter's Hospital (President Yoon, Kangjun), a general hospital specializing in spine, joint, and cerebro-cardiovascular care, announced that it has introduced 'NEUROGAIT', an AI-based gait and balance function assessment platform, expanding and strengthening its data-driven personalized diagnosis and rehabilitation systems.
St. Peter's Hospital introduced the NEUROGAIT platform in order to provide more precise diagnostic and rehabilitation treatment programs as demand grows for the care of patients with related conditions and of older patients.
NEUROGAIT, developed by digital healthcare company Salted, is a Class 1 medical device that supports patient diagnosis and exercise prescription through gait analysis. Plantar pressure sensors and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) are built into a 'smart insole' to collect a wide range of gait data, including plantar pressure loading patterns during walking, weight distribution, the path of the center of pressure (COP), left-right asymmetry and balance control ability. An advantage is that the test is as natural and straightforward as walking in ordinary shoes.
Through the examination process, NEUROGAIT analyzes and assesses gait, balance, lower limb muscle strength, weight bearing, and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to support the medical team's diagnosis. Areas previously assessed mainly by observation and manual measurement can now also be checked as quantified digital data. The examination process and analysis results can be monitored in real time, so waiting time after the examination is relatively short.
Its greatest strength is that objective gait analysis data makes far more individualized rehabilitation treatment possible. Rehabilitation Medicine specialists can design tailored exercise programs and rehabilitation treatment that reflect the characteristics of each patient's data, allowing more finely tuned care. Treatment progress can also be monitored continuously so that exercise intensity and the treatment plan can be adjusted, which is expected to further improve the accuracy and efficiency of rehabilitation treatment.
St. Peter's Hospital plans to use the NEUROGAIT platform to further strengthen its diagnostic and rehabilitation care systems. By using gait patterns as one of the key diagnostic indicators, it aims to further improve the accuracy and objectivity of diagnosis. It also expects to be able to raise the precision of the whole care and rehabilitation process, from physiotherapy and exercise prescription for non-surgical patients through to post-operative rehabilitation.
Lee, Hee Won, Chief of Rehabilitation Medicine at St. Peter's Hospital, said, "Gait is a key indicator of overall physical health, so we expect the introduction of NEUROGAIT to be a great help in restoring patients' function and shortening the time it takes them to return to daily life," adding, "Our hospital will continue to strengthen its data-driven personalized diagnosis and rehabilitation treatment capabilities and work to raise patient satisfaction."
