What is it?
WriSet is an IoT device that helps people undergoing physical therapy for the wrist. The object allows a smart tracking of the gentle movements of the wrist and guides the patients during self-practice for accurate practice. There are two stages to the product. The first phase takes place at the clinic where the physical therapist calibrates wriSet in front of the system and prepares a personalized home exercise program for the patient. The second phase takes place at home. Between clinic sessions, when the patient performs exercises using the object in front of the system and receives feedback on the movements he or she performs. The data from the personal training at home is sent to the physical therapist for follow-up and also as an option to a patient-therapist relationship during personal training. Research shows that the level of motivation increases when patients receive an indication that they are acting accurately and are not afraid of self-harm.

How It Works?
WriSet is designed for a comfortable grasp of the palm and in a way to identify its location in the space using two trackers on the sides. The system knows how to detect these trackers using a webcam and monitors the movement of the object in space. Through Google's Teachable Machine, we have implemented exercises that the system knows how to absorb and provide with them as they are performed.
