Trenton, NJ (June 10, 2008)Performance Health Technologies CEO, Robert Prunetti was recently quoted in an article about the Wii Fit, in The Monitor.
From the article:
Read Article...Robert Prunetti, CEO of New Jersey-based Performance Health Technologies, developed Core:Tx, a computer software therapy program that uses motion sensing technology (similar to the Wii) to retrain the brains of stroke survivors and those who require rehab from physical injuries. Core:Tx uses a game-like interface and tracks specific measurements of body angles and movements, offering a much more accurate rehabilitation workout than a "generic" workout game.
"There is a growing consensus in the medical community that games have the potential to improve the provision and quality of healthcare, and the popularity of Wii Fit speaks to the power of video games to help solve complex health challenges," he said. "However, while Wii Fit is successful in motivating and engaging its users, its overall success is based largely in its entertainment value. Because it is designed for fun, it lacks individual tailoring and the medical and scientific technology necessary to effectively measure and track a user's progress."
