| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 商學研究所 === 106 === With the advent of aging society, physical impairment caused by degeneration or diseases has increased the demand for rehabilitation. However, some patients with mobility problems can''t go out and actively receive rehabilitation at hospitals, which leads to emergence of home-based rehabilitation. Examining the home-based rehabilitation services under the long-term care system in Taiwan, there are some problems such as low efficiency in matching service for therapists, shortage of labor supply and insufficient practice due to limited subsidies.
To solve the above-mentioned problems, this study aims at proposing a wearable device assisted management platform for innovative home-based rehabilitation, providing a new option for patients who want to be cured in their prime. This platform directly connects the patients and the therapists, allowing patients to choose their therapists through its online matching system. In the meantime, this platform provides telerehabilitation assisted by wearable devices for the patients, with the hope to make up for the insufficient practice from home-based rehabilitation. This new type of rehabilitation allows the therapist to monitor several patient''s condition through the platform at the same time, and the qualitative outcomes report provided will help them make the rehabilitation plan for their patients more precisely.
Last but not least, this study breaks down the system of home-based rehabilitation, and reconstructs it with Value Creation Cycle model to identify the value created by the innovative platform. This platform builds partnerships with channels to gather both the suppliers and consumers of home-based rehabilitation. With the advancement of wearable sensing technology, it tries to overcome the pain points of the service model nowadays by telerehabilitation. It is expected that improvements in working conditions and productivity will attract more therapists to enter the home service industry, increasing the market supply. This study aims to increase the accessibility of rehabilitation service in the short term; however, with the accumulation and analysis of physiological data, we hope to realize the vision of Precision rehabilitation medicine in the long run, helping more patients regain their health.
