Abstract

The paper describes detailed data observation for the analysis and comprehension of the actual barriers and improvements that already exist in the world of physiotherapy rehabilitation and how, with the use of applied technologies as (UI) user interface, series of screens, pages, and visual elements, (UX) design process whose sole objective is to design a system that offers a great experience to its users, (AR) Augmented reality is a technology that works on computer vision based recognition algorithms to augment sound, video, graphics, and other sensor-based inputs on real-world objects using the camera of your device, and (LIDAR) stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges. All of them embedded in a mobile application and camera companion can improve the whole process’s experience and results, from an injury to full rehabilitation, benefiting both sides, physiotherapists and patients.
