Submission + - Aussie stroke patients rehabilitate on Wii (itnews.com.au)
An anonymous reader writes: Aussie researchers will give stroke sufferers a Nintendo Wii as part of a trial of a new remote rehabilitation system. About 50 past and present patients from a regional area will trial the system for two weeks each over a six-month period next year. Motion sensing data from the Wii controllers, together with a separate stream of data from body sensors fitted to the patient, will be transmitted back to a therapist in Sydney. It's hoped that the system will be gaming platform agnostic in the near future.
