博愛医院的智能康復幫助中風患者康復

在香港,博愛醫院正透過一項突破性的遠程康復計劃,徹底改變中風康復模式,將先進治療直接送入患者家中。由香港賽馬會慈善信託基金資助的「賽馬會樂齡智優計劃」,證明了尖端科技能顯著改善老年患者的康復效果,為飽受病痛折磨的長者帶來希望與自主生活的可能。

該計劃採用虛擬實境(VR)與擴增實境(AR)技術,讓患者能在家中或安老院內完成量身訂造的物理治療與職業治療。這項創新方案有效解決了長者往返醫院的體力負荷與心理壓力。

七十歲的中風幸存者劉先生正是最佳例證。經歷兩次中風導致行動不便的他,通過每日早晚定時的遠程訓練,右手疼痛明顯減輕,穿衣等日常動作更流暢。特別是一款虛擬行山模擬程式,讓他能一口氣完成整段路線無需休息,大幅提升其自信心與復健動力。

這項獲馬會慈善信託基金1,400萬港元撥款的計劃,運用智能科技提升治療可及性。患者透過平板電腦跟隨指導練習,系統會自動上傳表現數據,醫護團隊可即時監測並調整方案。成果相當顯著:已服務約350名患者,醫院每年治療容量更提升逾兩成。

計劃最獨特之處在於巧妙融入文化元素,使康復過程充滿趣味與意義。治療包含虛擬麻將遊戲,以及以大佛與青馬大橋等香港地標為場景的模擬活動。這些熟悉體驗成為患者堅持治療的動力,將枯燥訓練轉化為愉快的復元之旅。

與嶺南大學合作的科研證實,參與者步行速度加快、手部活動能力提升、認知功能改善,且日常生活自理能力顯著進步。這種全人復康模式不僅改善活動能力,更增強心肺功能與獨立性。

該計劃特別惠及中風、髖部骨折或認知障礙長者。安老院舍負責人觀察到參與者的自立能力與成就感明顯提升。醫院往返次數從每週兩次大幅減少,初期治療階段後僅需每月覆診一次。

隨醫療技術發展,博愛醫院的遠程康復計劃標誌著老年照護的重大飛躍。這項結合前沿科技與人性化治療的方案,提供了一個可擴展的模範,或將啟發全球類似創新。它展現了智能科技應對人口老化挑戰的深遠潛力。

對關注突破性醫療發展的人士而言,這項計劃成為科技重塑患者照護的典範,為最有需要的群體重新點燃希望、賦予自主生活的能力。
