What that means in English is the sleeve is detecting the various inputs and information and using the data to show a patient how much he or she has improved since the beginning of therapy. That info will go to a tablet app that will also give doctors a better look at what's going on in the patient's environment and recovery regimen. It's a bit like Apple's Healthkit.



Lead researcher Jane Burridge says that the sleeve and app could decrease the amount of time spent with therapists and still ensure a stroke victim gets their 45 minutes of therapy in daily. Perhaps even better? It may bring costs down too -- something sorely needed in the healthcare field.
