TIMSTIM.COM is a video recording, analysis, and sharing platform designed as an open resource for physicians, patients with paralysis and movement disorder, and any other users. For those patients who cannot receive required rehabilitation we will help to personalize the home rehabilitation program and develop optimal protocols for training and rehabilitation. To work with TIMSTIM.COM it is recommended to use 'Google Chrome' browser on personal computers. The main functions of the platform currently supported on Android mobile phones and tablets. iPhone and iPad on OS is currently not supported.

How it works

The user, using the TIMSTIM.COM platform, records videos with the guidance of video-instructions, performing a training or rehabilitation program independently or with the support of a specialist. The platform is developed is based on a video recording algorithm with a given presets to make 'time slicing' (selecting and cutting timeframes) that allows to set up parameters and start analysis already during recording. The platform provides options to create own training programs and regularly evaluate the performance and dynamics of improvements. Video-instructions created by experts will guide to improve training and recovery for a variety of conditions. Movement activity during training and its changes overtime will be recorded, saved, and analyzed, so that you, your trainer, and involved medical staff can see the progress and adjust the schedule of training or rehabilitation program. For information about the operation of the platform, watch the video instructions.


What’s new

We introduced a conceptually new way to evaluate training and rehabilitation progress, providing feedback to get the maximum of time you can spend to improve performance and recovery day-by-day. The platform is developed based on unique protocols to inform consistent and direct feedback, optimizing your performance and inform users, patients, and healthcare professionals about dynamic progress. Healthcare professionals can use the platform for maintaining the rehab program in clinic and at home, to control performance, for a quick feedback, optimal analysis, and adjustment of the therapy. Currently, there are several tele-health platforms on market, but there is no technology that provides immediate feedback, measurement and analysis of patients’ performance and user experience. The platform represents the first solution for dynamic analysis of motor performance and direct comparison day-by-day.


Other ways to use TIMSTIM

As it says, we are focused on ‘time in motion’ and the platform was designed just for that. Examples demonstrate how the platform helps to change perception of time and get most of the life experience. Each example has pre-build algorithm-template to record events the same way. What you need to do is to copy template to your schedule and press “START” to see time in motion. Use your device with camera to record events and organize your own way to experience time in motion:

  • See time flow: sunrise to sunset, clouds move, flowers grow, etc.

  • See the project and experiments progress on your own schedule.

  • Track your own activity and learn how you perform.

  • Record and evaluate your everyday training session in the most informative way.

  • Conduct training or meditation with feedback, both personally tuned and in the group.

  • Analyze and control your routine and habits.

  • The platform represents a personal assistant and will be useful for structured and coordinated with the schedule, viewing the video material with the control of comments, which can help in learning and teaching, both individually and in groups.

  • Create animated presentations with your own pace.

  • Be a DJ your time your own way and many other applications, which you can find in examples.

Problem

We have introduced a conceptually new way to assess the dynamics of patients' recovery during regular training and rehabilitation based on video analysis, providing critical feedback, and freeing up maximum time for training. The TIMSTIM.COM platform is built on unique protocols that provide feedback, optimize task performance in the short and long term, and keep users, patients, and healthcare professionals informed about progress. Medical professionals can use the platform to maintain rehabilitation programs both in the clinic and at the patient's home, to assess the dynamics, provide quick feedback, analyze, and adjust the rehabilitation program. The platform is a first-of-its-kind solution with dynamic movement analysis and direct day-to-day comparison, while other solutions depend on direct contact between professionals with the patient in person or via telemedicine systems.


How we discovered the problem

Medical professionals in the field of rehabilitation assist neurologic patients with mainly empiric protocols, which leads to inconsistent results, lack of full recovery, and even recurring complications and disability. These issues make us think through the potential improvements in rehabilitation programs and options to help these patients and make them less depended on limited healthcare sources during COVID-19 pandemic. We realized that all of us and, first at all, patients with motor impairment, need for qualified rehabilitation with technology that provides optimal guidance, fast feedback, and adequate measurement, integrated with remote patient monitoring to use patient’s time and capabilities as much as needed for optimal result.


Breakthrough

Currently rehabilitation professionals rely on their skills and subjective feedback that requires training and work in a large team, which results in inconsistent results, largely dependent on the individual, training, and specific skills. Some patients are trying to develop their own ways to improve function at home, although, without consistent and adequate feedback and guidance. Our goal is to create an individualized program for patients, focusing on neurologic conditions such as tremor, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, and stroke as the most difficult population of patients affected during pandemic.


Who is the user

Patients with chronic neurologic conditions and limited mobility, rehab medical professionals, trainers, and well-being programs.
