Development of a Patient Engagement Mobile Application for Rehabilitation Support

Patients undergoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation often face difficulties maintaining consistent engagement and adherence to prescribed routines, leading to suboptimal recovery outcomes. Therapists lack real-time tools to monitor patient progress remotely, limiting personalized intervention opportunities and reducing overall effectiveness of therapy programs.
