PEAT Autonomy Kit vs Proprio

PEAT is designed to be integrated into cognitive therapy programs at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to help increase autonomy and independence for veterans with cognitive challenges, including brain injury, stroke, mild cognitive impairment, PTSD, and ADHD. VA psychologists use PEAT to develop personalized reminder systems which are tightly integrated into each patient's personalized cognitive therapy plan.

The goal of this app is to provide a means to challenge and train proprioception of the upper extremities. Proprioception is your sixth sense and enables your brain to know where your limbs are in space. Neurologic injuries such as stroke, cerebral palsy, or spinal cord injury often affect proprioception. The basic idea of the game is to use one hand to touch points on their other hand, in order to play an engaging musical game that challenge and help you train proprioception. The game uses computer vision to track hand positions and to assess the performance of your proprioceptive skills.
