Development of a real-time RGB-D visual feedback-assisted pulmonary rehabilitation system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Following surgery, perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is important for patients with early-stage lung cancer. However, current inpatient programs are often limited in time and space, and outpatient settings have access barriers. Therefore, we aimed to develop a background-free, zero-contact thoracoabdominal movement-tracking model that is easily set up and incorporated into a pre-existing PR program or extended to home-based rehabilitation and remote monitoring. We validated its effectiveness in providing preclinical real-time RGB-D (colour-depth camera) visual feedback.

Methods

Twelve healthy volunteers performed deep breathing exercises following audio instruction for three cycles, followed by audio instruction and real-time visual feedback for another
